A proposed Board of Regents policy, to be voted on without public comment(!), would
"bend Iowa’s public universities and their curricula to an agenda that undermines critical inquiry, free speech, and student choice."

Thank you, @unitedfacuni ✊🏾✊🏾

Good News!

A temporary restraining order against the Feds, on behalf of some of the UI international students, has been granted!

The courts continue to recognize in these cases that the Feds can't operate with reckless disregard for the law

All you fascists bound to lose

Thank you to the 300 people who showed up to yesterday's teach-in standing in solidarity with academic freedom and international students & scholars.

When institutions are complicit in terrorizing students and scholars, we have one another's backs.
