Alamo Colleges AAUP-AFT press release! 100 members strong and growing! aaup-texas.org/blog/f/profe...

Professor Karma Chávez of @utaustinaaup.bsky.social explaining how the abolishment of faculty senates in Texas strips away democracy & any notion of shared governance in TX higher education.

How a secret recording of a gender identity lecture upended Texas A&M Officials have struggled to detail the exact reasons for the A&M professor’s termination, citing a technical issue with her course description. Faculty say the move was politically motivated.

The new reality that is emerging in Texas is that certain topics or ideas are simply off the table in the classroom.

The censorship of academic speech and entire fields of knowledge in service to an ideology poses an unprecedented danger to the future of higher education.
