Following today’s campus directive requiring the submission of self-attestation forms by those faculty who participated in strike-related activities last quarter, we write to offer further clarification and guidance from the Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA) on how best to respond.

Below we append CUCFA’s advice on faculty-protected rights in relation to UC’s issuing of these attestation forms, along with a cease-and-desist letter sent to UC Labor Relations. Links to each of these are below.

Please read CUCFA’s arguments as to why “UC’s attempt to survey faculty about whether or not they honored the picket line is unlawful, and you are not required to submit these forms.”
