Looking for actual context on the NYT article linking NYU’s President Mills to Elizabeth Rand? Read the NYU- @aaup.bsky.social's report—facts beat flimsy narratives any day. Let’s dive into how “national security” is being used (and misused) on campus, shall we? 🧵 nyu-aaup.org/wp-content/u...

NYU faculty members—including my own doctoral advisor, who guided me toward my future work—have been declared persona non grata for exercising their academic freedom and moral conscience. NYU students exercising their constitutional right to protest have faced harsh punishment on this very campus.

Truly scandalous discrimination and bias at the highest reaches of NYU theintercept.com/2025/01/31/n...

AAUP-NYU has issued a report about the egregious correspondence between NYU President Linda Mills and Elizabeth Rand (founder of the anti-Palestinian group MACA), which threatens academic freedom and reflects gross corruption of NYU procedures

If NYU administrators think a sit-in at the library has a “significant disruptive impact” on the university, wait til they hear what the Israeli military has done to every single university in Gaza.

NYU suspends students for an entire year for “significant and coordinated disruption” in the library, which refers to some students in keffiyehs studying quietly in the lobby, others sitting on the admin. floor asking for a meeting, a few holding banners, and some flyers dropped from an upper level…
