The average reading level of adults in the U.S. is a 5th grade reading level. We need to focus ON education. Like the 🍊 felon said, "I love the uneducated." Of course he does! They buy all his 'snake oils' (watches, shoes, etc.)

No one should comply with a wrongful order no matter who writes it down. Murder is still murder even if they change the name, and we still know it's wrong.

The AAUP encourages chapters, conferences, unions, & faculty senates to:

1. Review handbooks & contracts to strengthen & reinforce faculty rights in the areas of curricular reform & course approval; academic program discontinuance; & faculty appointments, reappointments, promotions, & dismissals.

2. Review & reform policies to strengthen faculty oversight in areas being used to exercise excessive & undue discipline against faculty, staff, & students including Title IX & Title VI policies, acceptable-use policies, events & outside speakers policies, & campus free speech & protest policies.

3. Organize locally, regionally, and nationally. The erosion of faculty rights goes hand in hand with attacks on tenure, faculty unions, and academic governance.

4. Strengthen local capacity to protect tenure and academic freedom by establishing or staffing a Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure in every chapter and state conference.

5. Strengthen local capacity to protect faculty governance by promoting AAUP resources on governance, including the Statement on Government of Colleges & Universities, within chapters, to faculty senates, and across institutions.
