Trump and Vance are a mortal danger to the future of higher education!

"The AAUP plays a crucial role in defending both academic freedom & academics as public intellectuals. It condemns newly revised administrative policies designed to prevent peaceful campus protests by students, faculty and allies."

OK, Harvard SUSPENDED 25 professors from the library for silently studying materials about Palestine with signs saying "Embrace Diverse Perspectives." I don't think these new university rules are working. Do you?

UFT President Michael Mulgrew sent a letter on Oct. 15 to state Education Commissioner Betty Rosa asking her to investigate the DOE’s failure to provide mandated special education services.🧵

If Trump wins in November, his #Project2025 calls for abolishing the DOE, fining universities, funding an online university called American Academy; replacing college accreditors, eliminating DEI; & implementing a thought controlled higher ed system.

It is appalling that Cornell University appears ready to deport an international student without regard for due process, simply because of their presence at a protest. It is wrong, and I urge the university to reverse course immediately.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

Today, the AAUP released a new statement calling on Florida University Chancellor Ray Rodrigues to retract his recent order requiring Florida's public universities to report all courses that mention Israel, Palestine, & a number of related terms.

We condemn the racist smears against the Haitian community and the incitements to anti-immigrant violence of the last week. We stand with our Haitian-American students, faculty, staff, and community members as they face this frightening campaign of lies and threats.

TOMORROW: an unprecedented coalition of 10 national labor unions representing millions of higher ed workers will announce a collective vision of how a Kamala Harris administration can ensure our nation’s democratic future through a renewed federal investment in higher education.

[BSU_AAUP @AaupBsu]

Students are not customers. Professors are not service workers. A university is an institution of learning organized jointly on the academic side through a system of shared governance btwn faculty & administration. A university is not a corporation and should not be run like one.

Higher education may be under attack, but AFT and the @AAUP are ready to fight back. During the AAUP/AFT’s Summer Institute, faculty & staff across the country strategized over tackling threats to academic freedom, shared governance, & more. @AFTHigherEd https://t.co/XklgxIrleY

[Todd Wolfson @ProfTWolf]

We see you @EliseStefanik & @virginiafoxx. Attacking public and private higher education while bringing in campaign donations from for-profit higher education. This is despicable. @AAUP @HigherEdLabor @AFTunion

New academic year, new collective energy.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

When university presidential searches are done in secret with no faculty input & no oversight you end up with corruption, malfeasance, & a colossal failure of leadership.

If only someone could have seen this coming…👀

U.S. professors - as you update your syllabi for fall, consider leaving November 5 open. Need to reduce as many barriers to voting as we can!

[Todd Wolfson @ProfTWolf]

Dude is straight up saying he will follow playbook of fascist Viktor Orban, & take over higher ed, in order to control what we research, teach, say, and learn. This is fascism. We must be prepared to unite & fight! @AAUP @HigherEdLabor @ruaaup @ruaaup_ptl

Real academic salaries have not kept up with inflation. We need significant raises.
