None of us wants ICE here endangering the people of Minnesota. But you aren't helping when AAUP officers write UMN administrators asking that tenured colleagues who disagree with them be fired or transferred to other units. Don't use authoritarian tactics and say you oppose authoritarians.

It's shocking to see the coercive tactics of the federal government to silence speech compared to private citizens' condemnation of speech, for example my condemnation of a racist law professor at Penn and also a journal article on a "contract" for sex with a 10 year old girl.

A lot of people's presidential war powers arguments appear to be based on personal views about the underlying conflict (Israel vs. Iran) as opposed to the Constitution. How many people who support military action now would do so if Trump were to attack China, Russia or some other country?

We'll have academic freedom at U. Minnesota when a music professor has as much right to criticize musicians who collaborated with Hitler as professors elsewhere in the University have to criticize the United States and Israel. Our AAUP chapter supports propaganda not academic freedom.

This isn't just about Israel. As I testified before the Minnesota Senate, revisionist history of the Nazi era is on the upswing. A tenured music professor was threatened with discipline after she criticized Hitler's favorite Berlin Philharmonic conductor. www.lrl.mn.gov/archive/minu...

More on the politicization of the AAUP from Tom Ginsburg, a left leaning professor at U. Chicago. Even he has had too much. AAUP leaders do not stand for academic freedom (unless you agree with them). www.chronicle.com/article/can-...

AAUP is an extremist organization and has no credibility in this fight. At U. Minnesota, an AAUP chapter leader secretly tried to get a tenured professor fired or retired for reporting sexual harassment and disagreeing with colleagues on Title VI. National AAUP leaders say they don't care.
