Update. The American Association of Colleges & Universities (#AAC&U, @aacu) just issued a statement on #Trump's “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education”.

Great decision by Judge Howell! (I especially liked the Shakespeare reference.) Hopefully academia takes note and more college presidents sign the #AACU letter.
ICYMI, I wrote about film schools at the #AACU letter the other day: danmirvish.substack.com/p/majority-o...

Deeply disappointing statement by USC President Carol Folt, whose refusal to sign the AAC&U letter puts @usc.edu on the wrong side of history and undermines its faculty, staff, and students who are up to the challenge of defending academic freedom.

Good news… but any university president who hasn’t signed the #AACU letter take note: If you want your full-tuition-paying international students to come back next year, stand up for them now. (Especially for #filmschools - see my Substack yesterday: danmirvish.substack.com/p/majority-o...
My update on film school institutions who’ve signed the #AACU open letter standing up to Trump for academic freedom. Good news? Majority of Top25 film schools sign. Bad news? Top 3 USC, NYU, AFI still haven’t. Shoutout to @jfallows.bsky.social danmirvish.substack.com/p/majority-o...
List of names of college presidents who have signed the AACU letter with the name of Skidmore President Marc Conner highlighted.
With a student planning a freshman year at #Skidmore in the fall, very happy to see President Conner's name on this list!
Students are watching in these days before making a commitment #university #college #AACU

I could be wrong, but I think Jim Ryan at UVA is still the only president of a public university in a state with a Republican governor to sign the #AACU statement.

Stronger when united. In a time of rising division, this call from @aacu.org is a powerful reminder: we must stand together for science, education, and academic freedom. Constructive engagement matters now more than ever. #AACU #HigherEd #FreedomOfSpeech #AcademicFreedom #ScienceMatters #AcademicSky
Most film schools’ college presidents haven’t signed anti-Trump #AACU letter yet, including USC & NYU. My new Substack: danmirvish.substack.com/p/most-top-f...
Just called the Chancellor's office at UNC-CH to see if my alma mater is planning to sign. They say they haven't heard of this yet, but will check and let me know. Tar Heels, rise up! (BTW, Duke and UVA have already signed)
#AACU
Keep sharing with your presidents. #AACU
Leaders of elite private institutions that have been repeatedly targeted by #Trump were among the signers.

So far, @stanford.edu's President Levin has not signed this public statement on "A Call for Constructive Engagement" from the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).

Is leadership from your alma mater or employer listed here? Perhaps it’s a good time to thank them or ask why they haven’t yet signed.

More than 100 US college and university presidents push back on the administration, calling for constructive engagement rather than attacks on students and funding
If you went to a school on this list, let their president's office know you support them. #AACU #highered www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...
Attending #AACU conference for the first time in person and really looking forward to sessions on AI :)
I don't want to overstate this, but being in DC for #UERU and #AACU conferences feels a little like resistance. "Reaffirming Higher Ed's Public Purpose"
During this session, members of the group will share & socialize draft tools & resources that can be deployed across diverse post-secondary institutions.
