Should the University of North Carolina system obey right-wing think tanks like the Heritage Foundation & require faculty to make syllabi public? 🤔 Sign this petition & say NO! Academic integrity everywhere is at stake. We're almost at 3,000 signatures—help us get there by signing & sharing.

This is a reckless, heinous act of violence against an American citizen. The officer must be held accountable. DHS must stop lying about the horror that was caught on video. ICE must leave our communities immediately. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

“We need a higher ed system that’s not rooted in students as customers, but in critical inquiry and the development of smart, thoughtful citizens in a democracy who can see through the lies and stand up for the kind of society we want to build.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

Today we filed a lawsuit against the Dept of Ed's abrupt & unlawful decision to stop millions of $$ in funding 4 Full-Service Community Schools in the middle of approved, multi-year projects-projects that give students tutoring and after school & health care at school. www.aft.org/press-releas...

I love Philadelphia

Rather than heeding calls for a fair and transparent process, the UVA Board of Visitors rushed the appointment of a new university president with little meaningful faculty input. It's an affront to the entire UVA community. Read my & @proftwolf.bsky.social's statement ⬇️ www.aft.org/press-releas...

@rweingarten.bsky.social and @proftwolf.bsky.social statement on rushed and opaque appointment process for new University of Virginia president: "This undermines the legitimacy of today’s appointment that will continue to be challenged in the coming months." www.aft.org/press-releas...

The Board of Visitors at University of Virginia should be ashamed

We want money for education not Palantir’s surveillance! www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-t...

How are AFT & @aaup.org standing up for higher ed? @proftwolf.bsky.social explains just a few ways: ✅We went to court to protect research funding ✅We're standing up for loan forgiveness & student loan borrowers ✅We're organizing with students & communities to build power ✅We beat back loyalty oaths

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Right, @ProfTWolf.bsky.social. Colleges and universities offer a space where all students can engage in civil discourse and discussion. Student protests make us look at our country as a whole, and at the decisions we're making as a country. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Right now: I'm watching a stream of University of Nebraska Board, as AAUP/AFT members & community fight austerity cuts. And, I'm watching thousands congregate at UVA to stop a billionaire takeover. And in a meeting to discuss our court win @ UCLA. Higher Ed resistance is leading! @aaup.org @aft.org

We stand with AAUP University of Nebraska-Lincoln!!

Hivemind: Did others get the email about the class action lawsuit against Anthropic for stealing our manuscripts for their AI machine? I would love to hear how others are approaching this...

Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built. We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

That’s right and we are gonna fight for free public higher ed, and end to student debt, an end to contingent and a new compact that prioritizes academic freedom, freedom of speech, shared governance and the right to assembly & protest on campus! JOIN US! @aaup.org news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

I love this quote about Marc Rowan: “I kind of yearn,” Mr. Nassirian said, “for the gilded age when billionaires satisfied their extracurricular interests by collecting Fabergé eggs and prized ponies.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

“Students, faculty, and staff are the ones stepping up to defend their institutions and higher education, while administrators run for cover.” -- @proftwolf.bsky.social on the what the AAUP v. Trump win means for the University of California.✊ @aaup.org @ucaft.bsky.social @uc-faculty.bsky.social

What word describes this behavior by the Federal Government and their quasi secret police force? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8U1QPvS/

More evidence that they HATE us and they hate working families. It’s a grift www.newsweek.com/trump-disman...

AAUP TV — WEDS, NOV 19 @ 7 PM ET! Veena Dubal, AAUP General Counsel, and Todd Wolfson, AAUP President, will discuss the historic victory in AAUP v. Trump and what it means for the UC system & higher ed! @proftwolf.bsky.social @veenadubal.bsky.social Tune in on IG or YouTube (link in thread)!

❤️

NEW: Jenna Norton, an NIH employee who is openly critical of Trump & RFK Jr, has been put on "non-disciplinary" administrative leave. She says the administration is trying to "scare and silence me." An HHS official, asked to comment, called her a radical leftist. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

That is right @psuaaup.bsky.social

Tonight at 7p et @chenjerai.bsky.social and I are doing @aaup.org TV to discuss building a broad and militant coalition fighting for the future of higher education. Join us!

Everyone should be out in the streets until this is resolved

What’s so painful about the attacks from the Jewish community on Zohran Mamdani in NYC—beyond the naked Islamophobia—is how they betray our own history. 1/4

Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the grassroots movement of supporters for an inspiring, historic campaign. Working people in NYC rejected Cuomo/Trump/Musk to support someone they know will make this city we call home a safer, more affordable place for all families to thrive.

Best political news in a very, very long time.

I've been a member of @aaup.org for years, and I couldn't be more pleased, now that we've affiliated with @texasaft.org, to say I'm a union member too.

I'm glad to see our organizing with @AAUP.org is giving more colleges the courage to stand up to the Trump administration. Trump's offer to give preferential treatment to colleges in exchange for allegiance to his ideological agenda is entirely corrupt. www.wesa.fm/identity-com...

Trump is quite literally the biggest union buster in American history. Every single Republican who supports Trump is anti-union, including Vance and Hawley and the other mythological “we love workers” ones. You are all lying rat cowards.

If they are not paying SNAP benefits, and they won’t give people healthcare, and they are giving Elon Musk and his ilk tax breaks then riddle me this: WHY SHOULD I PAY TAXES?

Faculty, students & staff are joining together to defend & advance higher education on 11/7. Plan your action & register it here: docs.google.com/.../1bhu9QLt.... This event is in collaboration with studentsriseup.org @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social @aaup.org @higheredlabor.bsky.social @aft.org

Man they are really scared of poor people having affordable access to food and transportation.

WE HEARD YOU! After some serious brainstorming, we will be launching an initiative that addresses these problems by looping in support from Blue districts to help build out activist hubs in target red districts. So, go follow @standupforscience.bsky.social and stay tuned!

Join us in the fight

TONIGHT! Join AAUP president Todd Wolfson & AAUP General Counsel Veena Dubal for an update on the AVALANCHE of universities rejecting Trump’s loyalty oath compact & how the compact violates the US Constitution. 7:30PM ET / 4:30 PM PT Live on both IG & YouTube. Link: youtube.com/live/h-H-ETa...

We say: NO

This clown, Marc Rowan, is the one that wrote the failed Trump loyalty oaths for higher ed with May Mailman. Listen to him talking about his leadership role at University of Pennsylvania. What a disgrace! @aaup.org

And University of Arizona rejected the Trump Loyalty Oath. 7 down and 2 to go!! @aaup.org When we fight, we win!

Together we will defeat the drumbeat of fascism and rebuild a multiracial democracy that centers economic equality for all! @aaup.org @aft.org
