"If higher ed faculty are beholden to saying only what powerful people want them to say, & if they stray out of the line they're going to get fired, we are living in an authoritarian society." – Irene Mulvey, @AAUP president

Let's be very clear: We must protect the right to protest, academic freedom, and free speech. These values are essential to college campuses and to our nation. At the same time we condemn antisemitism, anti Muslim and anti Arab hate speech and violence.

"Unionization is in the air right now," said Birchok. "My mom was a unionized school teacher. My grandfather was a unionized steelworker in Pittsburgh. So I think there are many of us that have this background and were like 'Oh, there's something we can do about this."' 💪

Take a moment to get your ballot in the mail today and then enjoy a restful Sunday knowing that you've done your part to win your union! #UnionYes #WeAreUAKU @AFTunion @AFTHigherEd @AAUP

Seems @EdWorkforceCmte & other conservatives aren't opposed to heavy-handed gov't interference when it suits them.

Damn

This statement by @AAUPPurdue and the IU-Bloomington @AAUP chapters outlines what is at stake with SB 202 well

This bill threatens the very fabric of higher education in Indiana

“Silencing voices & suppressing ideas are antithetical to the core mission of higher ed, yet this is exactly what is happening at campuses all over the country."

The higher ed labor movement just hits different...

“Faculty are never just negotiating around compensation. It’s always the larger issues of #academicfreedom, faculty governance, the working conditions." - @imulvey, AAUP president.

@imulvey Thank you Irene for your insights! You’re spot on!

This is the real question! Who is "the university" if not the people who teach, research, and learn there every day? This is exactly why so many higher-ed workers are forming unions--to win the voice they deserve!

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

“They’ve latched onto the idea that many totalitarian regimes have over the years: if you can stop students from learning about ideas that a political party in power disagrees with, that is one way to stop those ideas from existing in the society at all.”

Brilliant call to action--to historians and all academics--by @erin_bartram in @contingent_mag:

[AFT Higher Ed @AFTHigherEd]

Graduate employee unions change the lives of the people who organize them. Solidarity to the generations of unionists at Yale watching this vote count today.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

.@RonDeSantisFL has a wildly misinformed concept of #academicfreedom. As widely understood in the academic community, academic freedom is essential to allow for the unfettered search for knowledge & does not exist for the benefit of the individual faculty member...

SUU AFT recognizes the challenges faced by women & members of the lgbtq+ community in Utah & this ruling raises more. We are here to support our colleagues & are open to suggestions for how we can make our university a safer space for everyone.
