AAUP in a November 2025 Report: “The attacks on an independent and representative faculty voice substitute propaganda for education, ideology for inquiry, and authoritarianism and corporate management for a system of governance that values expertise and representation over politics or the depth of donors’ pockets. The curtailment of the faculty’s authority in governing higher education institutions today will not only inevitably undermine the faculty’s professional freedoms but, more importantly, will also spoil the fruit of those freedoms—an independent, intellectually rigorous, and incorruptible education for future generations.”
