❤️ Appreciate this coverage of several #DayofActionforHigherEd events on April 17! The national action “brought tens of thousands of academic activists together to voice their opposition to the administration’s actions and affirm higher education as a public good.” ⬇️

“We're trying to communicate to the federal government, to donors, to philanthropists, to lobbyists, that higher education is only healthy when it's autonomous, and that autonomy is essential for academic freedom.”

Shout out to the security guys in SF’s Union Square who were very chill with the #APAPacific25 presence for #DayOfActionForHigherEd and were also on the lookout for people who might “get in our faces.” (1/2)
