Some universities will now charge you crazy tuition and train you how to be really good at entering prompts.

Boom! We getting in the political game.

Because if we don't fight in the political arena for the best interests of universitiesβ€”which includes their students, faculty, & communities!β€”then these politicians will keep trying to take over our universities & dictate what we teach & research.

YouTube video by UC Faculty Behind the Scenes: How UC Faculty Beat Back Trump's Attacks

You may have heard that Trump’s extortion of University of California was defeated in court. But do you know who won this historic case? Spoiler: not a single UC administrator participated. It was all faculty members of the UC Faculty Associations and @aaup.org! Cc: @veenadubal.bsky.social

This image aptly captures this feeling of the walls closing in, a shrinking of freedoms in the academy over 10 years.

We can’t let these ideologues win. If you’re not a member of the @aaup.org, we need you to join now and take up the fight for #academicfreedom.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves β€” how to find the answers on their own.

University Administrations: Reject Trump's "Loyalty Oath" Compacts The Trump administration is trying to blackmail schools to let him and his unqualified bureaucrats run our schools. They want to dictate what schools teach, who they admit and hire, what researchers s...

NO LOYALTY OATHS IN HIGHER ED!

Trump's attacks on our universities are an attempt to consolidate power. This loyalty oath directly undermines our right to academic freedom & goes against every democratic principle our country should uphold.

Saugeen First Nation celebrates getting their beach back Saugeen First Nation is celebrating having a beach returned to it after a surveying error from the 1850s excluded it from the reserve.

Saugeen First Nation in Ontario joined together for some sun and sand to celebrate getting their beach back.

The fight to be recognized as the rightful owners of a popular beach ended a month ago after the Supreme Court refused to hear a case against them.
