A Well-Connected #NYU Parent Is Trying to Get Students #Deported

The founder of #MothersAgainstCollegeAntisemitism says her 62,000-member Facebook group is influencing NYU policy.

Excerpt: "Rand’s messages with Mills illustrate a fundamental problem at the highest levels of NYU leadership, said Rebecca E. Karl, immediate past president of AAUP-NYU and current member-at-large.

“'NYU’s administration has very clearly bypassed and thus undermined norms of #AcademicFreedom, #FacultyGovernance, and #DueProcess,' Karl, a history professor at NYU, said. '[NYU president] Mills’ interventions demonstrate a serious lack of judgement and a clear bias.'"

My term as my college's head of faculty government comes to an end tomorrow. Tonight, I've organized one last big event, a meeting on Title VI and academic freedom. This has been in the works for a while, but it seems more urgent after the recent election outcome and the general decline in our public discourse. #PublicHigherEd #TitleVI #AcademicFreedom #FacultyGovernance

"Our leaders continue to disregard campus autonomy, attack the expertise and independence of world-class faculty, and seek to force students’ educations into pre-approved ideological containers". Protection of #AcademicFreedom and #FacultyGovernance is essential for a thriving university.

As this letter from #UNC faculty points out, the people supposedly "leading" the institution are the ones undermining its mission.

Letter: UNC faculty oppose legislative, Board of Governors and Board of Trustees overreach

"Instead of heeding this warning, our leaders continue to disregard campus autonomy, attack the expertise and independence of world-class faculty, and seek to force students’ educations into pre-approved ideological containers. We must protect the principles of academic freedom and shared governance which have long made UNC a leader in public education."
