The American Association of University Professors #AAUP has a toolkit to fight against the top-down adoption of AI technology by colleges and universities: https://www.aaup.org/issues-higher-education/teaching-and-research/artificial-intelligence/toolkit-activism-ai
Texas A&M gets an F for free speech from FIRE—its lowest grade in years.
A great university cannot thrive when professors fear teaching and students fear speaking.
Free speech requires more than slogans.
Happy Labor Day! Until recently, I've never had a position where I could be a union member but now that I'm an adjunct professor, I celebrated by becoming a union member #AAUP @aaup.org
This Labor Day, remember: workers weren’t given the rights we enjoy today out of the kindness of businesses or institutions.
Workers organized. Unions fought. People marched, sacrificed—and bled—to win them.
Honor their struggle. Protect their gains. Keep fighting. ✊
Check out this small band of rebel warriors fighting the Galactic Empire (Texas A&M)! 🌌⚔️ The Force is with us!
📚 Let professors teach.
🎓 Let students learn.
💬 Let ideas be debated.
