"What we are seeing at Columbia is unprecedented: the federal government forcing an academic institution to acquiesce to its ideological beliefs." ⁠ — Isaac Kamola, director of the AAUP's Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom on CNN today.

"Institutions, inside & outside higher ed, might want to think carefully about their stance of self-protective silence in the face of a government that covets the unchecked power of authoritarianism. Anything could be the next Columbia in the ongoing quest to scare us all straight."

Our colleges & universities should encourage, not suppress, open & vigorous dialogue & debate about even the most deeply held beliefs. Trump’s threats against student protesters are antithetical to the mission of higher education. We strongly condemn them. www.aaup.org/news/threats...
