University Caucus Statement of Principles and Goals: We are employees of state universities – serving as instructors, custodians, nurses, administrative employees, food service workers, librarians, electricians, security officers, lab technicians, maintenance employees and countless other positions. We are equally essential to carrying out the important missions of our campuses and institutions. We are united in our efforts to fulfill the Texas constitutional mandate to “maintain universities of the first-class”.
CAUCUS LEGISLATIVE GOALS 2021-2022
As voted on by caucus delegates to the 2020 TSEU General Assembly. These goals will carry us through our next General Assembly in 2022.
-
Restore state funding of each university/health science center to minimum 25%, and use the rainy-day fund to preserve university jobs and services.
-
All university/health science center employees—including part-time, adjunct, and graduate-workers—should receive the same benefits as other state employees, such as a pension, years of service accrual, across the board pay raises, and in every way be considered state workers.
-
Repeal HB 3015; re-regulate tuition for all students, and offer full tuition reimbursement for all student workers.
-
Provide full healthcare, including gender-affirming care, for university/health science center employees working 50% or more, and expand Medicaid to protect part-time workers
