UTA Progressive Student Union

As the oncoming registration period for housing approaches, we at UTA are pleased to formally announce the success of our gender inclusive housing campaign! In the upcoming semester, students will have access to: temporary housing known as "safe-rooms" in the case they feel unsafe with the roommates they were assigned, a "friends and family expanded roommate option" in which applicants can choose their roommate regardless of the gender marker assigned to them by the school, an increased amount of gender neutral restrooms across campus.
Our demands were to address the growing need for students to be housed with people they were comfortable with, in accordance with their chosen gender, and we're proud to say that we've achieved that with the new housing policies in place.

We're announcing the beginning of PSU's ICE Watch program!
As ICE presence ramps up nationwide, including DFW, we as community members must come together to keep each other safe. ICE Watch will be open to the public to contribute to. While we will concentrate patrols around campus, we will be accepting spottings from across the city of Arlington and its surrounding area.

How It Works:
Submit a photo, time, & location for the ICE officer(s) or vehicle(s) that you spotted to our Instagram or the form on the QR code above, and we'll post it on this account.
Though it's open to the public, we also want to make sure there's someone patrolling campus at all times. As such, we invite folks to note down their availability also through the QR code above so leadership can reach out and contact them when they're needed.

We will not be intimidated into hiding by ICE while they threaten our friends and families with not only deportation but brutality, and in the cases of their victims on the streets and in detention centers, ex*****on.

PSU condemns the US' terrorist bombing of Venezuela and the kidnapping of its president and his wife. We view the event as yet another example of the US unrightfully attempting to seize a country's resources under the guise of policing through regime change. We call for students and universities within our reach to end cooperation with any companies, institutions, or authorities carrying out these attacks on Venezuelan sovereignty, be they civilian, government, or military. Boycott oil and gas companies profiting from these attacks!

We're pleased to announce that PSU will be throwing a Dra(c) Show, tying off October as, not just the spooky month, but more importantly what was once pride on campus! Come out to Coffee Pop-Up boutique to see performances by lovely queens and kings, and join us in showing the state that we will not be so easily silenced.

ICE has no place on campus! Our school has not only stood idly by as ICE put our students in danger, but actively invited them to attend the Criminal Justice Fair on campus. We as students should not have to look over our shoulders in our places of study! We student organizers should not fear deportation for speaking out against injustice!

Howdy, folks! We invite y'all to come out and say hi while we conduct our bake sale fundraiser! Our baked goods will be made by our very own, so if you're in the mood for some homemade delicatessen, come out and buy some! Money don't grow on trees😅
