#AcademicSky As reported by a UCLA prof: the faculty senate at Rutgers took up the attached mutual defense resolution. Their unions (full time faculty, grad workers, post docs + adjunct faculty) voted to endorse it. Michigan & Northwestern looking into it too.

This is how corrupt centralised power is checked!
Go #Rutgers, and here's hoping the other "Alliance" members take this up!
...i ain't mad
Their rowing team were all good dudes
This reflects the intentional systematic dismantling of government. Media could track it everyday. Makes it real!
Better see #USC on that list! 💛 ♥️ ✌️
Glad to see academia pulling together.
