Caucus Meetings & Socials
Some caucuses are social, some are working groups. All are important for building community.
Working Families Caucus
The Working Families Caucus formed in response to concerns about the University of Oregon’s family and parental leave policies, as well as other concerns of working family members, like caregiving. Email Ed Wolf at [email protected] if you are interested in joining the Working Families Caucus.
Pride Caucus
The UA Pride Caucus aims to foster connection and solidarity among faculty from across campus who care about workplace and social issues related to gender identity and sexual orientation. Email Ed Wolf at [email protected] if you are interested in joining the Pride Caucus.
Faculty of Color Caucus
The caucus understands its constituency expansively. It is a forum for faculty who care about issues of equity, inclusion, and diversity in the workplace and off campus. Email Ed Wolf at [email protected] if you are interested in joining the Faculty of Color Caucus.
