Our National Call to Action
To: Leaders of U.S. higher education governance bodies and unions
From: SUNY University Faculty Senate Executive Committee
Re: Our National Call to Action
Date: 10 September 2026

We endorse, and we call on you to join us in endorsing,

● Higher Education’s Compact with America: Shared Principles for the
Common Good (American Association of Colleges and Universities/Phi Beta
Kappa Society) Identifies principles and promises regarding opportunity,
affordability, excellence, freedom, security, partnership, and prosperity.
● Pro-Equity Compact: Foundational Values for Higher Education
(National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Legal Defense
Fund) The federal “anti-civil rights agenda is a threat to academic freedom,
equity, inclusion and student success. We are fighting back to protect students,
faculty, and our education system.”
● The State of Shared Governance: Independence Day 2026 Declaration
(SUNY and CUNY governance leaders) “We pledge to continue engaging our
colleagues and SUNY and CUNY leadership to make our systems even more
influential and effective national exemplars of what Public Good U can be and do
when we work together.”
● America’s Compact for Higher Education (Stand Up for Science with
American Association of Colleges and Universities/American Association of
University Professors/Alliance for Higher Education/Public Citizen/Public Good
U) Aims to develop a large coalition in support of basic tenets of higher education
and to support leaders in maintaining our nation’s institutions of higher
education as independent centers of thought.

Let’s reinforce our commitment to realizing the promise of higher education as an
indispensable public good.

Let’s construct collaborative relationships between the U.S. federal government, state
governments, and the ecosystem of community colleges, technical and agricultural colleges, liberal arts colleges, regional public universities, teaching hospitals, health science …

Not that we don't also find the bootlickers on bsky, ofc.
Screen cap of bsky re-skeet from handle redacted:

There's a lot to agree with here, but also some points that, if adopted, are more harmful than helpful. AI labs hype their products. But its now clear that the capabilities of these models in math is immense. Also, regulation can be more dangerous than it's absence, depending on who's regulating.

That was a reskeet at the end of my thread promoting the Leiden Declaration on AI and Mathematics (https://leidendeclaration.ai). My post read: "Do read the whole thing, think about your personal and professional values, and how they can serve as strong grounds for resistance and refusal."

Trump on Truth Social: "Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in 'b'"
POLL: Which do you prefer, Dumocrat or Dumbocrat? In one case, you simply exchange the “e” for “u,” so simple and precise (Many people don’t know, or assume, that DUMB ends in “b”). In the other case, you spell out DUMB, but it seems to lose some of the identity to Democrats when done this way. Which is better?

Thank you for your attention to this very important matter! President DJT
