Today, the AAUP released our Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession detailing a continuing crisis in higher education: stagnant wages, pervasive gender & racial pay gaps, & rising shares of contingent workers. #defendhighered highereddive.com/news/salari…

Salaries for full-time faculty tick up 0.4% after inflation, AAUP finds

However, inflation-adjusted salaries are still far below what they were before the coronavirus pandemic.

"If higher ed faculty are beholden to saying only what powerful people want them to say, & if they stray out of the line they're going to get fired, we are living in an authoritarian society." – Irene Mulvey, @AAUP president nprillinois.org/2024-05-01/h…

How some faculty members are defending student protesters, in actions and in words

The protests sweeping college campuses don't just involve students. Professors are increasingly pushing back against university administrations they see as infringing on students' free speech rights.

Replying to @AAUP
These recent interferences & threats are part of an ongoing partisan, political attack intended to dismantle higher education in service to the public interest, & make our institutions beholden only to corporate, political and private interests. 6/

The AAUP & our chapters defend the right to free speech & peaceful protest on university campuses, condemn the militarized response by institutional leaders to these activities, & vehemently oppose the politically motivated assault on higher education. 🧵

✴️Arresting students and faculty for “trespassing” on their own campus is spreading across the country. In our case, the campus is public property, making it all the more egregious. Herding students off-campus with mounted state troopers: this is #NotOurTexas

NYU-AAUP president Karl said faculty members are shocked “at how our president betrayed us, the faculty, and our students.” Faculty were arrested for trespassing on their own campus while forming a cordon around peacefully protesting students. insidehighered.com/news/quic…

Opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion in higher education argue that dismantling DEI offices and initiatives on campus won’t negatively impact the academic freedom of faculty. So how do they explain what Gov. @GlennYoungkin just did in Virginia? richmond.com/zzstyling/view-…
