If you couldn't make your way through the crowd to reach the @aaupcsu.bsky.social table at the #NoKings march, don't fret! You can still make a statement online to support Higher Education and to reject Trump 's university loyalty oath at aaupcsu.org/2025/10/13/p...
When we unite and fight, we win!

Way to come out #FortCollins and show your commitment and strength! First we rallied, then we marched, and now we are uniting with local groups to fight for our rights. That is what democracy looks like. When We Fight, We Win!

My guess is 8000 people turned out for the Fort Collins #NoKings protests.

We marched for a mile and then merged with the back of the marchers. Over a mile of people, 8 abreast. Amazing!

See you there! We'll have plenty of extra posters, candy, stickers, and new friends. Come fill out a couple postcards to our administrators and elected officials asking them to stand up and protect our student services and academic freedom - then grab a stack of flyers to pass out among the crowd.

Vanderbilt faculty ask school administration to reject Trump memo, citing free speech The Vanderbilt Faculty Senate voted on a resolution asking the university to reject a recent White House compact.

AAUP chapters across the nation in solidarity against Trump's compact!

"Jonathan Gilligan, who proposed the resolution, [said]
that the language of the resolution closely mirrored that of the University of Virginia’s...to 'help ensure unity & solidarity'" for others opposing the compact.

We ALL need to join this fight: faculty, staff, students & community members. The Trump administration is trying to bribe & threaten our US universities into subservience to his, and only his, warped agenda. If we don't unite and fight back now, our universities and our democracy may never recover.
