Todd Wolfson, AAUP President, warned of a more โmilitantโ response on campuses in the fall โ including possible mass strikes.
โWeโre going to need to politicize this fight. Itโs not an economic strike on our job conditions โ itโs a political strike for the future of the sector.โ

GWU-AAUP calls on the university administration to work collaboratively with the faculty and broader university community to resist this attempt to mischaracterize and suppress student protesters and to destroy free speech and academic freedom.
5/5
It is incumbent upon any university administration to fight campus racism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, & other forms of bias, identity-based hatred, & oppression. Ironically, efforts at Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion have exactly this aim, yet they are under attack from Trumpโs administration.
4/
Today, the George Washington U chapter of the AAUP responded to the Trump DOJ's threats to crush academic freedom:
"This dangerous conflation of campus protest w/ antisemitism is designed to rule legitimate political speech out of bounds by mischaracterizing the motivations of those engaged in it."
Here are free lessons for Clint Smith's "How the Word Is Passed" including two that engage students in examining how history of slavery is remembered (or hidden, lied about) in public spaces.
Students are invited to design their own commemorations. โฌ๏ธ

Media critic Jay Rosen says a tactic of authoritarian leaders like Trump is to "reject reality on a sweeping scale, and discredit the whole idea that we can know whatโs happening in our world. Instead of jailing journalists, nullify the real."
Read my Q&A with @jayrosen.bsky.social.
There is no "white genocide" in South Africa. Instead, poor and working class Black people are the ones being screwed over by both white supremacists and the Black elites in the African National Congress, contrary to the lies Trump and Musk peddle. hammerandhope.org/article/musk...
