I sounded the alarm on behalf of millions of Americans who don't want Elon Musk's lackeys digging into their personal data. Today, a federal judge barred them from accessing your private data. This is why we fight.

Columbia University has failed to defend academic freedom & freedom of speech & allowed a great institution to be bullied & extorted into submission by an administration hellbent on contorting higher education to their will. The AAUP condemns this capitulation. We can & must fight back.
