Happy to report that the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign academic senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution against the federal “compact” all of us in higher ed have been offered, encouraging our administrators to keep opposing it. #MADC www.senate.illinois.edu/2025-2026/20...

The release of personally identifiable information that was not relevant to the government’s Title VI investigation was improper. The Trump admin is investigating how the UC responded to claims of antisemitism, not the individuals named in the complaints. The AAUP condemns this move by UC Berkeley.
UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era’ move
Prominent professor Judith Butler among students and faculty investigated for ‘alleged antisemitic incidents’

A good piece from Public Notice. #MADC #academicsky
The Presidential Cabinet of Trump 2.0 was assembled for their disgraceful loyalty to DJT and their apathy to the American people.
A few months in, "It is becoming increasingly clear how little there is to it apart from self-enrichment and nihilism."
"This is governance by arson and sabotage."

"This is governance by arson and sabotage."
"Trump is unique among the nation’s presidents in having no interest in presiding over a functioning govt, let alone building institutions that will survive his term in office. That's why the analogies pundits have tried to draw between the early periods of other presidencies fall entirely flat."

This exciting resolution from Rutgers University Senate is exactly the kind of model I think higher ed needs: a mutual defense pact of, in this case, Big 10 schools. They call for member institutions to create a joint defense fund and make resources available to any member institution under attack.

It includes supporting documents and FAQs that can help MADC organizers elsewhere!

Todd Wolfson, AAUP President, warned of a more “militant” response on campuses in the fall – including possible mass strikes.
“We’re going to need to politicize this fight. It’s not an economic strike on our job conditions – it’s a political strike for the future of the sector.”
