They’ve been on this for a minute. More teaching + post tenure review (and contracts) plus ai supercharged productivity surveillance tools also makes professors more vulnerable to student evals, which gives admin more power to fire you. That’s the plan.

"Imposing minimum teaching requirements...has been touted as a way to cut costs and 'better focus university resources in the classroom,' .... The notion is also gaining steam in conservative circles as a means of ensuring faculty productivity and curbing 'intellectually unserious' research."

Lawmakers say faculty members don’t work enough. Is this about productivity or punishment?

I minored in AADS and did my work study in the department and it’s been far more valuable to my ability to critically analyze our current moment than the philosophies I was taught in the Government program. This is precisely why these programs are being targeted.

This is a travesty. African and African Diaspora Studies at UT Austin has been one of the best programs in the country. And for historical context, this is explicitly about reversing the gains of student movements in the 60s and 70s.

MINNESOTA STATE LODGE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE STATE OFFICE P.O. BOX 270026 Minneapolis, MN 55427 minnesotafop@gmail.com www.mnfop.com January 8, 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: "FOP Stands with ICE" Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric (Minneapolis, MN) The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of Law Enforcement across the country. Over the past month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them. The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state and communities. When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an investigation is barely beginning. The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police condemns these attacks on law enforcement and calls on politicians and leaders to stop the anti-law enforcement rhetoric and to ask for calm while the facts come out. ### The National Fraternal Order of Police is the oldest and largest law enforcement organization in the United States, with more than 382,000 members.
