NEW from UNT: "Race,” “gender,” “class” and “equity” among words removed from course titles and descriptions. The Texas DEI ban has an exception for instruction and research. UNT spokesperson said changes are unrelated to the ban. Faculty say otherwise. dallasnews.com/news/education…

"The most common reasoning for post-tenure review is the myth of the “deadwood” tenured professor. We on campus have always known it is a myth. But now the very institutions who used that myth to gut tenure are acknowledging that." academeblog.org/2024/11/13/a-r…

This is a Must Read analysis of recent right wing legislative attacks on higher education. If you care about the future of higher ed, prepare to #defendhighered.

My white paper "Manufacturing Backlash" is now published with @AAUP It offers a systematic analysis of the anti-CRT, anti-DEI, anti-tenure, and anti-accreditation legislation introduced during the 2021, 2022, 2023 legislative cycles. Check it out. aaup.org/article/manufa…

Liberal arts vs. Western Civ/civic education at the U of Florida. How does this relate to attacks on administrators, academic programs, and Faculty Senates in Texas? 🤔🤔🤔

Trump says he would open applications for new accreditors to impose standards that include “defending the American tradition & Western civilization." How the next administration wants to upend public education as we know it: teenvogue.com/story/trump-ed…

This week Georgia will follow Florida to allow schools to choose accreditation agencies. While ours didn’t support tenure, Trump is opening door for politicization of accreditation.

The anti-Project 2025 education policy playbook for progressive states must include OFFENSE not just defense. My top 10 offensive moves. What are yours?

1.Fully & fairly fund public schools 2.Integrate schools, ban segregative "school choice" 3.Expand, infuse civics & SEL into curriculum 4.Address teacher alienation & constitutionalize #RightToTeach 5. #IEPsForAll These 5 informed by my research: bit.ly/2pjoffB 2/3

Without a just & inclusive higher ed system, the majority of Americans will be excluded from meaningful participation in our democracy. The AAUP is committed to defending our campuses & the mission of higher ed by organizing our communities to face the challenges ahead. Join us.

We are in a crucial moment that will decide the future of higher education for decades to come. Colleges & universities that serve the public good are the bedrock of our democracy & if they are diminished, this country will move backwards. 3/

We remain steadfast in our commitment to our principles & ensuring that future generations of Americans are afforded the opportunity that higher education provides as an engine of social mobility, innovation, & progress. 2/
