This is one of the most important documents produced this year.

At a time when many of our professional organizations are punting, @aaup.org has been leading on EdTech, AI, academic freedom & faculty governance.

We @uam-umd.bsky.social won. Faculty packed town halls, talked to their colleagues and collected hundreds of petition signatures. Now UMD is coughing up $8.75m, during a deficit, to fund faculty whose research is under attack. Not enough, but a helluva thing for a union the state calls illegal.

The unity of students, faculty & staff powered our legal victories against the Trump admin!

Administrators & elected officials are not the ones filing the lawsuits against the Trump admin when our universities are under attack. Rather, faculty, students & staff are the ones defending higher ed.

Again, this is an existential crisis for the entire financial & academic model of 🇺🇸 public universities, but the public doesn’t understand this, in part because our leaders have been on this issue. It’s maddening:

Very simple lesson here:
Faculty governance will defend academic values, like academic freedom, even when it is unpopular.
Political appointees who serve as Regents will blow with the ideological winds, which in Texas are anti-speech.

The firing put the school at the center of national debates over gender identity and academic freedom. A faculty panel ruled unanimously against the termination.

The Trump admin weaponized Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to attack DEI programs, protections for trans people & freedom of speech at our universities.

We took the Trump admin to court over this in AAUP v. Trump and WON.

Lots going on but don’t lose track of the Trump attacks on biomedical research and cancer cures.
