“An instructor's freedom to teach includes the right to assess student academic performance. We are gravely concerned that a climate of escalating authoritarian assaults on academic freedom is normalizing politicized interference in classroom teaching & learning.” — Todd Wolfson, AAUP President

UNL AAUP are fighting tooth & nail to stop the Board of Regents from cutting $27.5 million from UNL's budget. "There hasn’t been enough time for faculty to respond...We want shared governance, which means we have a voice that actually matters.” — Theresa Catalano, UNL AAUP.

Marc Rowan--a billionaire responsible for Trump's devastating loyalty oath compact--will step down from his advisory role at the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania in summer of 2026! AAUP President Todd Wolfson discusses our November 7th action that led to this step forward.

"Restrictions in Texas, Florida, Hungary & elsewhere are not isolated. They're part of a long battle over what truths will shape the next generation. When universities choose openness, societies move forward. When they choose silence, societies fracture."

Legislation in the US, sponsored by 22 members of Congress, calls for sanctions on Israel. This marks the first time that a resolution in Congress has explicitly called for sanctions on Israel. The S in BDS is no longer a taboo in the US. Escalate BDS pressure now. https://loom.ly/gSsMMig

Fantastic win in Maryland. As the Trump admin attempts to destroy vital research, @uam-umd.bsky.social is fighting back & winning...& they're not done yet. As they celebrate this win, they're pushing for greater transparency, support for faculty & an academic freedom fund. Faculty, join your union!

Billionaires, who quite often do not see education as a common good, should not be guiding higher education policy. “I kind of yearn,” Mr. Nassirian said, “for the gilded age when billionaires satisfied their extracurricular interests by collecting Fabergé eggs and prized ponies.” #DefendHigherEd

“It will not succeed in cowing faculty and academic workers, in sowing division, or in keeping us from supporting our neighbors in need,” the professors said in the statement. “We will continue to fight for the colleges, universities, and communities we deserve.” — @ncaaup.bsky.social

Tomorrow! Register here: zoom.us/meeting/regi...

"An important lesson we can draw from the new report is that our failure in higher education to defend, without giving any ground, pro-Palestinian speech has proven to be not just costly, but nothing less than an existential threat." Dan Segal on the AAUP-MESA Report. wp.me/p8xr4h-dit

"This urgent order to clear away the entire, centuries-old idea of disciplinary governance in one fell swoop is both radical and without even a functional ideology—an especially pure plane of the empty-mind austerity satirized from Office Space to Severance." Adam Rzepka wp.me/p8xr4h-dil

Today!

"Faculties, administrations, and governing boards must refuse to comply with unlawful federal government demands based on Title VI investigations that impinge on . . . faculty academic freedom . . . and freedom of expression of faculty members, students, and staff." www.aaup.org/news/new-rep...

The report is the first systematic empirical study of government investigations & private lawsuits against US colleges & universities under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Full Report here:

A new report published today by the AAUP & @mesa1966.bsky.social finds that the weaponization of civil rights law has been central to attacks on campus speech over the past two years. Only one of 102 antisemitism complaints reviewed raise antisemitism claims unrelated to criticism of Israel. 🧵
