Faculty and staff who work in higher education know that many students are one emergency away from leaving college: A car repair or stolen backpack can be the difference between staying in school and on a path to a more stable life, and dropping out. To help, more and more AFT faculty are organizing emergency funds—called FAST, for Faculty and Students Together—that provide quick relief through donation-based grants. AFT members can attend a May 17 webinar to set up a fund at their own schools.
