ACADEME BLOG THE BLOG OF ACADEME MAGAZINE MENU Skip to content * Home * About * Submissions * Academe Magazine * Join the AAUP THE AAUP’S ABSOLUTIST ANTIBOYCOTT POLICY REEXAMINED BY DANIEL A. SEGAL At a moment when the Israeli assault on Gaza has destroyed every university that had existed in Gaza, and the Palestinian-led boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement again calls on academics outside of Palestine to support the nonviolent strategy of institutional academic boycotts, it is time for the AAUP to reconsider… Continue reading → Collective Bargaining / Faculty FAMCO’S FIGHT FOR FAIR HEALTHCARE BY MEGAN DELANEY, GABRIELLE HACKENBERG, AND AMANDA STOJANOV The Faculty Association of Monmouth University (FAMCO) recently finished an extensive reopener with university administration regarding our healthcare costs and plans. We were aware that our members had been overpaying for healthcare for several years and that the administration was diverting costs onto members through the cover… Academic Freedom / Legislative Issues INDIANA SB 202 THREATENS TENURE, DEI, AND FACULTY CONTROL OF CAMPUS BY BILL V. MULLEN A dangerous and broadly worded bill making faculty vulnerable to termination for not conforming to a state legislature’s definition of political diversity will likely be voted on by the Indiana state legislature on Tuesday, February 27th. Senate Bill 202 mandates that in order to receive tenure faculty must demonstrate that they… Academic Freedom / Announcements POLITICAL INTERFERENCE AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN FLORIDA BY HANK REICHMAN On Monday, February 26, I’ll be talking about the AAUP’s recent special investigation report, “Political Interference and Academic Freedom in Florida’s Public Higher Education System,” online with John A. Douglass of the UC Berkeley Center for Studies in Higher Education. Here’s the Center’s description of the event: In their self-proclaimed “war on… Corporate Influence / Data DATA AND THE AUSTERITY REGIME IN HIGHER EDUCATION BY NEIL KRAUS “The public has lost confidence in higher education.” This narrative is everywhere, its ubiquity reminiscent of the failing K–12 schools refrain post–A Nation at Risk. News stories about polling results, opinion pieces advocating increased online education, and consultants seeking to sell a wide range of products remind us of the public’s declining… BORIS KAGARLITSKY SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS BY HANK REICHMAN I’m a historian of Russia by training, but I guess I didn’t realize that there’s apparently no double jeopardy rule, at least with respect to sentencing, in Russia. Turns out that I—and many others—celebrated too soon when back in December we learned of the release of renowned Marxist sociologist and university professor… February 13, 2024 in Academic Freedom, International. PUT DEMOCRACY IN THE LECTURE BY MATTHEW BOEDY You may remember several years ago a phenomenon called “the last lecture.” It began with the heartbreaking story of Randy Pausch, who was a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University. He was diagnosed with cancer and literally gave his last lecture in September 2007. That became a book in 2008… February 12, 2024 in Budget Issues, Faculty. IN DEFENSE OF MELISSA GOLDBERG AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM AT CATHOLIC COLLEGES BY JOHN K. WILSON Last week, the Catholic University of America (CUA) fired psychology professor Melissa Goldberg one week after she invited doula Rachel Carbonneau to address her class, Psychology 379: Lifespan Development. Doulas coach women during the birthing process, and Carbonneau discussed helping “birthing persons” deal with having abortions and assisting transgender men. One… February 8, 2024 in Academic Freedom, Religious Institutions. HIGHER ED’S QUANTIFICATION PROBLEM BY ERIC SCARFFE AND KATHERINE VALDE After the initial draft of House Bill (HB) 999 began circulating online last year, talk of Florida could be heard in the halls of almost every institution of higher education in the United States. As acting chapter president of the United Faculty of Florida at Florida International University, for… February 7, 2024 in Data, General Education. FROM THE GUEST EDITOR: THE HIGHER ED DATA JUGGERNAUT BY SIOBHAN SENIER Following is the guest editor’s introduction to the winter 2024 issue of Academe, out this week. The full table of contents for the issue is available here. In memoriam David Golumbia* In December 2020, a group of leading scholars of educational technology, including Jesse Stommel—a contributor to this special issue—held a landmark teach-in #AgainstSurveillance. The… February 6, 2024 in AAUP, Technology. ALL OF THEM SHOULD GO BY DANIEL A. SEGAL The presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and MIT did a famously terrible job responding to Representative Elise Stefanik’s questions at the congressional hearing on “antisemitism on college campuses” this past December. But so far, their failure has been treated either as a case of incompetence in the realm of… February 5, 2024 in Academic Freedom. SUPPRESSED STUDENT SPEECH AT AMERICAN UNIVERSITY BY THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY AAUP CHAPTER The following statement was issued January 29, 2024. In 2022, American University reaffirmed its commitment to freedom of expression, stating in relevant part: When we engage in inquiry, we may have to confront truths that are unpleasant and ideas and perspectives with which we disagree or even find loathsome. When we… February 1, 2024 in Free Speech, Students. FROM FLORIDA TO BARNARD BY HANK REICHMAN Today the New York Times published an article recounting the continuing struggle at Barnard College, the women’s college of Columbia University in New York, over the academic freedom and free speech rights of faculty and students. To briefly summarize, three weeks after the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, the Department of… January 24, 2024 in Academic Freedom. HARVARD’S MISGUIDED GUIDANCE ON PROTEST AND DISSENT BY JOHN K. WILSON On January 19, 2024, PEN America held a major summit on free expression at Harvard University. But it seems top administrators at Harvard are the ones who really need a lesson on the topic, since that same day they announced a new “Guidance on Protest and Dissent” that restricts the right… January 23, 2024 in Students. SUPPORT FOR UT AUSTIN TEACHING ASSISTANTS BY KARMA R. CHÁVEZ Recently, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know Callie Kennedy and Parham Daghighi, former teaching assistants (TAs) in the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin. I will detail the specific reason for our acquaintance, but the broader reason has to do with the… January 22, 2024 in Academic Freedom, Graduate Students.
