- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPThe scale and speed of state censorship of campus really is amazing. More than half of America's college students attend institutions in states that have passed laws censoring higher education since 2021. From @penamerica.bsky.social pen.org/report/ameri...

- Academic expertise matters, especially in times like these. Seth Masket at DU is one of the best on American politics ❤️

- This seems to strongly suggest that the incoming president of UVA doctored his CV to the edge of outright dishonesty, and that the most recent changes came months before Jim Ryan was forced, as if they were made in anticipation in Ryan’s removal. augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...

- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPThis is one of the most important documents produced this year. At a time when many of our professional organizations are punting, @aaup.org has been leading on EdTech, AI, academic freedom & faculty governance. I'm humbled to be joining the team that authored this report.
- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPHappy Founding Day to the @aflcio.org! For 70 years, we’ve fought for fairness, dignity, respect and a voice on the job for working people everywhere. Now 15 million strong, the power of our solidarity is stronger than ever.

- Non union chapters like ours can't yet offer it as a member benefit but the occupational liability insurance through AFT is only $6/month and this webinar has a lot of great info on what it covers.

- This has more of an impact on public libraries than academic but one of the amazing things about libraries is that because of services like interlibrary loans, consortial bargaining for large databases, etc. the success of all kinds of libraries is intertwined. 🥰

- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPJim Ryan's letter is not just surreal and troubling; it provides a series of deeply sobering lessons—about the perils facing public universities today; about what it means to "work with" this Department of Justice; & about what leadership does (and doesn't) entail at this especially fraught moment.
- @bakerdphd.bsky.social breaks down the letter from UVA former president. Very helpful for additional insight and context.
- To be abundantly clear, this complaint was not submitted to anyone at IU, it was submitted to a sitting US senator.
- This letter is a roller coaster 🎢. And not in a fun way.

Stay tuned for local actions and events on the November 7 National Day of Action to Defend Higher Education.

- The full story is further down in the thread, but the gist is that students wrote about a report that criticized IU's openness to free speech, which the university responded to by ... censoring the student newspaper.

- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPI agree. As I’ve said elsewhere (many times at this point), AI starves its host in a specific way. So MOOCs and blockchain et al are good conceptual models to understand the why but the scale and politics of this thing is sort of…particular. Similar to Trump 1.0 v Trump 2.0.

Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union condemn this campaign and stand in solidarity with our colleagues. Read our full statement here: loom.ly/BDXasRY
- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPYes, I’m very aware of that. The political economy of Ed-tech is pretty clear. Again, it’s resource capture, which leverages an institution that’s been strategically starved of resources.

- Reposted by University of Denver Chapter of the AAUPIn about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.
