For many New Yorkers, being a SUNY student means not only accessing an affordable, high-quality education but also gaining support in areas that extend beyond academics. Thanks to the continued commitment of Governor Hochul @governor.ny.gov and the NYS Legislature, SUNY is able to expand critical

A few blue states have tried to redo higher ed funding formulas to prioritize regional publics over flagships. Just like in K-12 education, that is an exceedingly difficult task because the losers are politically powerful.

Thank you, University at Buffalo, for hosting the joint SUNY University Faculty Senate/Faculty Council of Community Colleges Realizing the Promise of Public Good U barnstorming tour’s 5th of 7 stops! We addressed shared governance scenarios & SUNY’s academic momentum & seamless transfer initiatives.

One of the core messages of the work at Stand Up for Science is we are fighting against science being used as a weapon against civilians. The US bombed a school that was IN SESSION. What makes you think they won’t turn that tech on us, too.

Transpose this 1970 campaign speech by antisemitic white supremacist Asa Carter into the voice of JD Vance or Elon Musk or Matt Walsh and tell me if you could tell the difference.

A judge just tossed out Columbia University's disciplinary actions against 22 students over the 2024 Hamilton Hall occupation, finding the school relied on sealed arrest records and held individuals responsible for group actions, violating its own rules. iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/Documen...

Anti-fascism should have broad support across the American political spectrum. Elections need to be defended. Here's an open letter from retired professors at HBS in which we call for business leaders to address that need. #econsky #academicsky marketdesigner.blogspot.com/2026/02/an-a...

@democracyforward.org released some heartening stats about pro-democracy litigation against the Trump admin. Our legal victory in AAUP v. Trump, which blocked the weaponization of civil rights law and withdrawal of funding at the UC system, is part of this welcome trend. Read more below👇

Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings. This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.

Texas is on the front lines of the fight against government suppression of academic inquiry. We must continue to hold the line against those who wish to control the range of topics that can be taught in the classroom. Keep fighting. Our democracy depends on it. @texasaaup.bsky.social @texasaft.org

@adapalmer.bsky.social is right.

Accreditation -- not only a bureaucratic snafu but now a means to interfere in higher education, learning, teaching, and research. @higheredlabor.bsky.social

“One possible criterion with which to evaluate the success of a close reading is how well it understands itself as being part of & beholden to a community, even as it tries to challenge that community's terms of engagement.

NEW: AAUP President Todd Wolfson & council member Chenjerai Kumanyika sat down with the hosts of the excellent Citations Needed podcast to discuss the acceleration of Trump's assaults on American higher education & how the AAUP is fighting back. Check it out here:

“Abolishing gender programs & the lessons they have taught, will, Trump & his acolytes hope, undermine our ability not just to condemn, but also to critically analyze the policies & practices they want to impose.” Must Read by Joan Scott, member of the AAUP’s Committee on Academic Freedom.

"Those who support the current attacks on academic freedom often do so out of an actively propagated misunderstanding about who academic freedom protects: mistaking it for coddling of entitled professors, when in fact it serves the common good." —Priya Satia, @stanfordaaup.bsky.social
