The death penalty is flawed, racist, and unjust. It has no place in America or anywhere else in the world. Abolish it.

“The apparent violations of her academic freedom are quite egregious, especially because they appear to primarily involve her posts on social media, what we would call her extramural speech.”—Anita Levy, AAUP, on firing of tenured anthropology professor

Response to Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff's September 30 email to Cornell campus re: Momodou Taal.

BREAKING – Over 45k union dockworkers with ILA are officially on strike, shutting down all East and Gulf coast ports, from New York to Miami to Houston. They’re standing to protect their future against the shipping companies forcing automation on the docks.

A Kroger executive confirmed that the supermarket raised prices in towns where there was no competition. In towns that have a Safeway or Albertsons it kept prices down. Kroger is trying to merge with Albertsons, which owns Safeway, and create the biggest U.S. supermarket chain.

When 84% of the American people tell us that their top priority is for us to expand Medicare to include hearing and vision benefits, what should we do? We should listen to the people. Let's get this done.

Thanks to all who came out to our rally on Friday! Here's some coverage from Flint's NBC 25/Fox 66. #ValueOurLaborRecognizeOurValue midmichigannow.com/news/local/new…

"If we elect an independent mechanic to the US Senate... think of all the teachers, the plumbers, auto workers, nurses, farmers, rail workers who will join him there. This is our generation's defining moment." — Shawn Fain, campaigning for Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn

GSI cuts are bad for workers & students. They mean fewer jobs for grads & less individual attention for undergrads. You can fight the cuts by joining the rally & picket Fri Oct 25 at 8:30am at the League. Affected workers can also attend arbitration. bit.ly/Arbitration2024

For the past 110 years, the AAUP has defended the principles of academic freedom & shared governance in order to ensure higher education's contribution to the public good. 🧵 1/

The AAUP reaffirms our determination to preserve conditions for free expression in pursuit of truth. We call on the academic community to resist all public & private assaults against this principle. As true today as it was at the 56th Annual Meeting of the AAUP in June, 1970:

“Failing to fully fund our higher education system — community colleges, state universities and UConn — undermines the development of a strong workforce pipeline.” — Michael Bailey, UConn AAUP ctmirror.org/2024/11/15/ct-…

As the AAUP concluded in our Report on Political Interference & Academic Freedom in Florida, this should serve as a cautionary tale to all in higher education. Being a bystander is no longer an option. #DefendHigherEd aaup.org/report/report-…
