I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

Arrest the goddamn president
I should have noted that I appreciate the Coaches for Campus Freedom campaign and the leadership of @democracyhouse.bsky.social
Check out Steve Kerr demanding academic freedom and an end to Trump's attempts to ideologically control our campuses! ❤️
Virginia State University ignored tenure & procedural protections when they abruptly fired 6 faculty from the university's Agricultural Research Station.
In this episode of AAUP TV, @chenjerai.bsky.social and @proftwolf.bsky.social speak with two of VSU's Fired Six about this egregious decision.
VA Dems ran on a pro-worker agenda, yet are leaving workers behind @aaup.org @aaupmason.bsky.social @aft.org
Don’t cut higher ed workers out of collective bargaining!

"Let me be clear: we will not tolerate these attacks on our communities and the weaponization of the Constitution against us." - @evelyndejesus.bsky.social at the #March4Communities event in Houston, TX. @texasaft.org @texasaflcio.org
The @aaup.org & @aft.org stand with @nihfellowsunited.bsky.social. We will join them to make sure the research scientists at the NIH do not lose their collective bargaining rights! The Trump administration hates workers, hates research, hates higher education and hates UNIONS.
Noem was awful. Americans have been less secure due to her cruelty, corruption & incompetence —glad even the president now sees she must go. Let’s hope things truly improve. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
At @aaup.org & @aft.org we are partnering with @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social, @higheredlabor.bsky.social & others to demand that our universities don't do business with companies supporting ICE! @seiu.org launched a campaign to keep March Madness free of Deportation flights. act.seiu.org/a/de-ice-the...
Stand with the VSU Fired Six!!!
At @aaup.org and @aft.org we are prepared to fight for faculty, staff, students and higher education!
This policy would've created a Big Brother atmosphere in the classroom that would stifle the free exchange of ideas, chill student discussion, & suppress the requisite willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.
Unethical surveillance policies have no place in higher education.”
1. Big tech funds MAGA
2. MAGA wages war on universities
3. University revenues plummet
4. Big tech buys university assets
5. Data centers literally replace higher education
“The response was quite different. It’s not clear whether this reflects the difference in the public stands these students have taken or a fundamental change in the university’s approach...I hope it will prove to be the latter.”
—Michael Thaddeus, Columbia AAUP
@aaupcu.bsky.social
Homeland Security has abducted another @columbiauniversity.bsky.social student under false pretenses. More information to come.
We will fight this Virginia State. Your treatment of these faculty was reprehensible. We love our HBCUs, but @aaup.org & @aft.org will not stand for disrespectful treatment of members! Solidarity @ucwva.bsky.social ❤️ www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
This is why we need to run recognition campaigns at private universities, and demand that tenure stream faculty have the right to collective bargaining. Yeshiva is dead but we can’t win this in the courts we need to win it on our campuses

The Texas Legislature gutted faculty representation on campus, so private organizations like @aaup.org are the only voice college and university faculty have left.

That's right. We believe investor communications from Apollo currently give an inaccurate and incomplete picture of the firm and its partners’ connections to Epstein. The record must be clarified. bsky.app/profile/prof...
I want to be clear, @aaup.org stands with our HBCUs. At the same time, what Virginia State University did by laying off 6 tenured/tenure-stream faculty, for NO CAUSE, & threatening them with trespass breaks every norm. It is shameful. Reinstate the Fired Six! SIGN & SHARE

Reinstate the Fired Six at VSU!
Six tenured & tenure track faculty members were abruptly fired at Virginia State University without cause or any semblance of due process.
Sign this petition to demand their reinstatement & a public commitment from VSU to honor tenure & end arbitrary dismissals.
“Two powerful teachers’ unions that have committed at least $27.5 billion to Apollo wrote a letter to the SEC this week calling for federal regulators to investigate Apollo’s “apparent lack of candor” over its relationship with Epstein.”
Let’s get this investigation going NOW.

Important article by @perrybaconjr.bsky.social. Red states governors like Stitt & DeSantis are destroying higher ed. They are enemies of free speech & inquiry. It’s shortsighted & bad for their states. @aaup.org will challenge their attacks on the first amendment.
