ICYMI: the AAUP's @AcademeBlog has a new series organized by @AnneliseOrleck1 focused on the recent repression we are witnessing against protests at US college & university campuses against the war in Gaza. Check out the first three installments in this🧵
I tried to name the disquiet that came from Saturday’s assassination attempt for the @AcademeBlog (the @AAUP faculty blog): The Sad Student with a Gun on a Rooftop academeblog.org/2024/07/17/the…
Michael Schwalbe on the implications of violently removing protesters at campuses like @UNC using "outside agitators" as a pretext. Yet before "students were told they had to accept neo-Confederates rallying on campus in defense of" the #SilentSam statue. wp.me/p8xr4h-cFc
Mark S. James writes about the relief, and reality, of being "post-debt" after #PublicServiceLoanForgiveness: "Even though my student loans have been forgiven, they will continue to affect me and my family the rest of our lives." academeblog.org/2024/04/10/on-…
Grad student Audrey Berlowitz links the academic portfolio review process at @UNCG to austerity speedups that eclipse possibilities for reimagining #highered and calls for faculty, students, and staff to "to reclaim a place to dream the university." academeblog.org/2024/04/05/aus…
A new blog post by @aaup_utAustin centers on a canceled lecture amid the passing of "the anti-DEI bill" SB 17, and chapter leaders worry about the "dangerous precedent" being set by administrators and university leaders. academeblog.org/2024/03/25/aca…
Mark S. James writes about faculty opposition to an effort by Molloy College's DEI office to repackage a failed civility policy as a new antibullying policy. wp.me/p8xr4h-cB1
Following a series of "political appointees" to the @GeorgeMasonU Board of Visitors and backlash against general education requirements, @AAUPMason calls for a renewed fight for #academicfreedom: "We simply cannot let the university die on our watch." academeblog.org/2024/03/08/eve…
As the @AAUP prepares a new "Redbook," Jonathan Rees covers overdue revisions to one statement: "People who want to know what the AAUP thinks of online education are going to want to know what we think about academic freedom and shared governance online. wp.me/p8xr4h-cA6
"The increasing number of egregious administrative attacks on academic freedom and speech rights . . . provides us a crucial window of opportunity to dispatch many sitting presidents," writes @DanSegal14 academeblog.org/2024/02/05/all…
Dr. Karma Chavez @queermigrations on the power of faculty/student coalitions in support of academic freedom and due process. academeblog.org/2024/01/22/sup…
#HigherEdFaculty, are you ready for a new round of grading? Your #LMS may not be. A devotee of #ungrading, Jonathan Rees writes that online gradebooks offer "a false sense of precision"--and some student "heartburn." academeblog.org/2024/01/18/you…
"No one is coming to save us. We all have to be all in for all of us." In December, I asked faculty to put democracy on the syllabus. Today I ask all of us to put democracy in the community. Read more in link @AcademeBlog @AAUP academeblog.org/2024/01/18/put…
Jonathan Rees points out the anti-faculty undertones of Trump's proposed education policies, warning of the dangers of a potential "Trump University, Part II." academeblog.org/2023/11/22/tru…
Denouncing the right-wing trend toward "demonizing dissent," Kevin Howley praises the rise of pro-Palestinian activism expressed by student bodies across the country. academeblog.org/2023/11/20/dem…
Cory James Young praises the @AHAhistorians' "Freedom to Learn" initiative in his impassioned plea to historians and faculty to speak out against "divisive concept" laws and legislation aimed at curtailing free speech and #academicfreedom. academeblog.org/2023/11/16/his…
Addressing #highered faculty in a direct, heartfelt call to action, @MatthewBoedy outlines the tangible actions faculty can take to counteract "culture war attacks" and how to advocate for much-needed resources and institutional autonomy. academeblog.org/2023/11/15/doi…
Rubén Martinez explores the "worldly character" of academic freedom and the influence of social structures on academia in a follow-up post to his recent #Academe article. academeblog.org/2023/11/14/aca…
Drawing comparisons between the "right-wing culture wars" and the Israel-Hamas crisis, @ellen_schrecker highlights the dangers of using an "Orwellian representation of free speech" to stifle the kinds of criticism necessary for academic freedom. academeblog.org/2023/11/01/the…
Assessing the political climate of the Hamas-Israel war, Jonathan Graubart writes, "This unhinged mood has grave implications for free speech and academic freedom at US universities and colleges, which I have experienced firsthand." wp.me/p8xr4h-clw
