    The Graduate Center chapter of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC)

    Notes from July 29, 2025 Chapter MeetingItem Discussion Action/Responsible Party Campaign for Fired 4 Background:  4 adjuncts fired by executive staff at Brooklyn College without Chairperson involvement.  Non-reappointment was due to conduct and the union disciplinary process was not used.  Two of 4 fired adjuncts were students at GC.  As far as legal action response, the grievance process has been initiated but is lengthy.  The definition of “conduct” is not known or how it was applied.  Visibility of the more than 14,000 adjuncts is important with activism of both PT and FT ally staff.  Shining a light on the coordination of these firings by CUNY is important. Brooklyn College union is organizing “no business as usual” actions including a teach-in or walk-out.  Details to be provided.  Recommendation is that other campuses follow in support. Reaching out to current politicians, including Zohran Mamdani, was discussed.  Support of these types of issues has been past practice. 1.     Action/Rally on July 31, 2025 at Brooklyn College at 4 PM 2.     After rally union social at Ox Tavern hosted by Brooklyn College and Graduate Center chapters 3.     Letter campaign on PSC CUNY website 4.     Information about a meeting on 8/14/25 to be provided International Student Visas The GC Chapter has a disproportionate number of students on international visas, SLU and GC in particular.  Trump administration is using social medial screening as a justification for cancelling visas.  It was reported that no one at SPH has been affected.  SLU labor lawyers may be useful resource.  The CLEAR Clinic at CUNY Law has a webinar for international students regarding rights and digital security for travel.  There is a WhatsApp chat available to share resources.  CUNY has resources for students on the website. The extent of this issue is not known and many students may not be reaching out. 1.  Consider a blast email to students to see if resources are needed. Non-CUNY email   PSC Immigration work PSC has led the way on monitoring legal cases.  They have provided Know Your Rights training, sent a petition with more than 7,300 signatures, and attend weekly court hearings.  Andrea Vasquez shared the many ways that ICE is capturing people at the federal hearings, especially if cases are dismissed or delayed.  PSC members attend with flyers in multiple languages with resources and Know Your Rights information.  Butterfly cards are used to gather contact information to follow up with vulnerable people.  Every Friday, members support those scheduled for court and have been present more than 220 times.  There is non-confrontational support provided to those who are scheduled for the hearings.  Not all go well and often people are apprehended. PSC has been collaborating with more than 10 other organizations in these efforts. ICE is scheduled to receive more than $50B from the federal government for their work. Many members who are active in this campaign have never been active before and the response is very meaningful.  While nothing done is illegal, it is important that it does not impact the person being helped in a negative way.  A felony charge can be added to their case if so. 1.  Training for members is both ad hoc and scheduled on the website.  Training is approximately 30-60 minutes. 2.  Training must be completed before attending a hearing. Other items CUNY Library is a resource for information   CUNY Central has informed schools that they can change their requirement for remote work agreements.  Andrea Vasquez asked for a copy of the email. 1. Members should reach out and see if anyone else has information about remote work agreements being changed.
