AAUP@MU

The AAUP at the University of Missouri is dedicated to advocating for all faculty regardless of status.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

Today, the AAUP released our Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession detailing a continuing crisis in higher education: stagnant wages, pervasive gender & racial pay gaps, & rising shares of contingent workers.

"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

"Without the assurance of faculty governance, today, compliant university system chancellors would be handing out marvelous, tenured faculty appointments to utterly unqualified members of the General Assembly, their staffs, their families & friends."

Huh, my book is back on the Amazon best seller list. Are people suddenly interested in endowments for some reason?

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

These recent interferences & threats are part of an ongoing partisan, political attack intended to dismantle higher education in service to the public interest, & make our institutions beholden only to corporate, political and private interests.

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

The AAUP & our chapters defend the right to free speech & peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, & vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education.

✴️Arresting students and faculty for “trespassing” on their own campus is spreading across the country. In our case, the campus is public property, making it all the more egregious. Herding students off-campus with mounted state troopers: this is #NotOurTexas

[PEN America @PENamerica]

Opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education argue that dismantling DEI offices and initiatives on campus won’t negatively impact the academic freedom of faculty.

So how do they explain what Gov. @GlennYoungkin just did in Virginia? https://t.co/WpWnOMR7qr

On National ‘Day of Action for Higher Ed,’ Some Rally, Others Strike
https://t.co/wlAgeWgA9w

[American Association of University Professors @AAUP]

"The day was an attempt to spark a movement of students, faculty & unions to push back against coordinated attacks from politicians & others on quality, “democratic” higher education. These include programs cuts, restrictions on #academicfreedom, curtailments of DEI & more."
