Academic Labor Unions Are Key to Fighting Trump’s Repressive Higher Ed Agenda

"This is not a moment to shrink or back off. It’s a moment to grow and build power," said Todd Wolfson, AAUP president. "We in the AAUP are ready to fight for what we need — fully funded higher education, an end to student debt, and respect for every worker on every campus. This is just one moment in a long struggle. The AAUP is here to remind people that higher ed is the bedrock of democracy."
