“We’re seeing a growing movement within civil society, that has to be maintained, & has to be maintained for years. The damage that the Trump administration is doing is absolutely beyond the pale & has never, never been equaled in American life with regard to higher education.”

TODAY: A federal district court will consider whether the arrests & deportations of students & faculty for peaceful pro-Palestinian speech are consistent with the 1st amendment. How the court answers this could determine the future of American higher education for generations.

The American Association of University Professors and partners like Knight First Amendment Institute & Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Worker Union will fight for our members freedom of speech, and importantly the right to freedom to dissent from the radical agenda of Trump and Rubio!

The case was brought by the national AAUP; its Harvard, Rutgers + NYU chapters; + the Middle East Studies Association following the arrest + detention of several noncitizen students and scholars who have spoken out on Palestinian rights. 👇 theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
