👍 A big thumbs up to the universities who have already said absolutely not to the compact. To university leadership: don't give away your institution's autonomy...just say NO.

Many institutions, organizations, & individuals are standing together to say NO to the White House Compact. Faculty fellows at leading Institutes for Advanced Studies are adding their voice to the choir with a new open letter: #AcademicSky #Academia
"The strength of American higher education lies in our collective commitment to truth, freedom, and excellence. The response must be unified and unequivocal: Universities will defend American freedom. They will protect each other."

The White House’s new Compact asks universities to trade independence for funding. We believe that’s a dangerous precedent. Read our national statement: buff.ly/iZheO2v #AcademicSky #Academia #HigherEd

Academic freedom is the backbone of learning, debate, and discovery. In Kumble Subbaswamy’s recent op-ed, he underscores its importance and urges us to defend it not just as faculty, but as a society committed to progress www.kentucky.com/opinion/op-e... #AcademicSky #HigherEd

#academicsky We are facing a coordinated campaign to discredit, defund, and dismantle public higher education. This is not politics as usual. It is an existential threat to our mission, our students, and the future of knowledge itself. Join us! Sign up at www.standtogetherhighered.org
