The AAUP stands for what we always stood for: a powerful higher education sector that leads to innovation, social mobility, and is a bedrock of democracy. Read AAUP Todd Wolfson’s Q & A published this week in the Chronicle of Higher Ed. www.chronicle.com/article/is-t... @proftwolf.bsky.social

A coalition of higher ed unions jointly filed a lawsuit against the Trump admin for the threats to the University of California including @uaw4811.bsky.social @afscme3299.bsky.social @uptecwa.bsky.social @ucaft.bsky.social @teamsterslocal2010.bsky.social @aaup.org @aft.org @uaw.org and CUCFA.

Thanks for chatting with me @thefireorg.bsky.social @tomginsburg.bsky.social @aaup.org @freespeechcenter.bsky.social @proftwolf.bsky.social @usatoday.com

Let’s be clear: There should be no space for rehabilitating Hitler. The antisemitism on the right goes unchecked and it is horrific. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Hey @harvard.edu, @aaup.org's thrilled by our shared ruling. But, I'd love to understand President Garber's response: Harvard will “continue to assess the implications of the opinion, monitor further legal developments, and be mindful of the changing landscape.." What changing landscape?Fascism?

In April, the AAUP & our Harvard chapter sued the Trump admin for demanding that Harvard censor speech & restructure core operations or else face $8.7 billion in funding cuts. We hope this decision clarifies to Harvard’s administration that bargaining w/ tyrannical authoritarians is unacceptable.

The AAUP believes that unions provide the best way for higher education workers to fulfill our duty to the wider public to ensure higher education contributes to the common good. Happy Labor Day! #DefendHigherEd

BOOM💥💥💥

We won our case against the Trump administration alongside Harvard AAUP!

Breaking news: About 150 FEMA employees sent a letter to members of Congress, arguing that the agency’s direction and current leaders’ inexperience harms the agency’s mission and could result in a disaster on the level of Hurricane Katrina.

LFG!

The racist remarks made by Sequoia Capital partner Shaun Maguire are unacceptable hate speech. @rweingarten.bsky.social @jeff-f7.bsky.social and @proftwolf.bsky.social wrote to Sequoia clients U Michigan and U California to demand accountability. More here: www.aft.org/press-releas...

“The Columbia settlement is a disaster for higher education, an act of cowardice by the leadership of Columbia & bullying & weaponization of antisemitism for nefarious purposes by the Trump administration.” — Todd Wolfson, President of the AAUP

Those who manage workers deferred wages and other public monies shouldn't promote hate. I'm proud to take a stance alongside @proftwolf.bsky.social, @tfromthed.bsky.social and CFT's @Jeff-f7.bsky.social condemning hateful statements made by Shaun Maguire www.pionline.com/institutiona...

Fascism

No university administrator is going to stop this. The only group actively fighting it is @aaup.org. Join AAUP and get involved on your campus.

Faculty students and staff will stand up to Trump, when cowards like Claire Shipman of @columbiauniversity.bsky.social bend the knee! Higher ed students and workers unite! @aaup.org

This is wonderful! So proud of our team and especially Britt Paris

Let’s go higher ed!!!!

“We cannot live in fear. AAUP and our partners will not cower in silence. We will stand with & for higher education writ large. We will stand for democracy.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

In addition to #AAUPvRubio, we are also in Federal court today in Boston fighting for the restoration of $2.6 billion in crucial lifesaving scientific & medical research funding. Here is AAUP Senior Counsel Aaron Nisenson outside the courthouse where both cases were heard today. #TrumpCutsKill

Trump’s cuts kill!!!

As our case, @aaup.org v. Rubio wraps up, we begin our case around the Trump administration's attacks on freedom of speech and attacks on our biomedical research infrastructure and his attacks on @harvard.edu! We will win

Hundreds of higher ed workers have gathered together at Morehouse & Spelman for the @aaup.org & @aft.org Summer Institute. Right now we are learning organizing skills to protect ourselves our campuses and our students!

"The real purpose of these show trials is to undermine university autonomy so the federal government can control what faculty research, write, and teach and what students learn and say..." - @aaup.org President @proftwolf.bsky.social #HandsOffHigherEd @aft.org @nysut.bsky.social @ucaft.bsky.social

Right now @aaup.org is in court with MESA and @ruaaup-aft.bsky.social and we are represented by @knightcolumbia.org. Check the livestream here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9VB...

The four stooges

Hey @jd-vance-1.bsky.social welcome to Bluesky. 1. Go follow @standupforscience.bsky.social 2. Could you plz tell your boss no one wants a world war? 3. Professors aren’t evil. 4. Which children get “pro-life” protections and which don’t? Seems like only the healthy, straight, rich, white ones.

[email protected] President Jennifer Higgins is right. Unions should be involved in the mergers of colleges & universities, to make sure the schools stay true to their mission & serve the community. www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/06/nj-s...

Today @aaup.bsky.social joined forces with @uaw.org, @aapthq.bsky.social , @aacu.org, Women in Engineering ProActive Network & @aeraedresearch.bsky.social to challenge DOGE's attacks on STEM research at the NSF. We are being represented by @democracyforward.org. democracyforward.org/updates/coal...

Thank you for your leadership Brad Lander

New AAUP Report out today: real average salaries for continuing & new full-time faculty have increased but have not recovered from pre-pandemic levels. The last two years of progress weren’t enough to recover from three consecutive years of decline. 🧵

Trump is an abject failure of a leader by any metric

A fourth force

Join us tomorrow btw 11-11:30 for No Kings at @pftlocal3.bsky.social (1816 Chestnut)! Prek-12 and higher ed workers unite. @aaup-penn.bsky.social @aaup.bsky.social @ruaaup-aft.bsky.social @ruaaup-ptl.bsky.social

Trump’s Cuts Kill

As a result of public pressure generated by AAUP members’ collective action, UNC Chapel Hill's Board of Trustees voted to tenure the 33 faculty members who had been left in limbo by an unprecedented large-scale delay. Today, AAUP President Todd Wolfson called for an explanation. ⬇️

This escalation came from the President of the United States.
