AAUP: Wolfson & McIver

Todd Wolfson

Mia McIver

Thursday, October 23 at 2:30 PM on KPFK 90.7 FM: Today I share the first of a two-part conversation with leaders of the American Association of University Professors, the standout organization fighting back against Trumpism generally and the assault on higher education, and on behalf of instructors, students, free speech, and academic freedom. Todd Wolfson is AAUP president, and Mia McIver, executive director. AAUP recently released this statement: “The Trump administration’s offer to give preferential treatment to colleges and universities in exchange for allegiance to a partisan ideological agenda stinks of favoritism, patronage, and bribery. It is entirely corrupt...The AAUP and AFT urge all college and university governing boards, campus administrations, academic disciplinary organizations, and higher education trade groups to reject such collusion with the Trump administration and to stand firmly on the side of free expression and higher education as the anchor of opportunity for all.”
