Six years ago this week, 20,000 teachers across West Virginia bravely walked out on strike against abysmally low pay & poor healthcare, a strike that began a wave of union action for educators across the country. #FlashbackFriday

YouTube Video VVVKSjN5YzRIcjZmN1NsNnBaSEZVWVhnLnhfWld6SEFfVEhn Academic freedom in higher education has become a defining issue in the United States today. But this isn’t the first time. Dr. Schrecker, a renowned scholar of academic freedom and American higher education, speaks about the history of academic freedom challenges, the landscape of current struggles over free speech within American universities, and how those institutions can respond.

This event was sponsored by the New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden Faculty Councils at Rutgers University, Rutgers AAUP-AFT, the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union, the Rutgers University Student Assembly, and the Academic Freedom Committees of Rutgers AAUP-AFT and the Rutgers Adjunct Faculty Union.

Dr. Schrecker’s books include The Lost Promise: American Universities in the 1960s; Many Are the Crimes: McCarthyism in America; and No Ivory Tower: McCarthyism and the Universities. A retired professor of history at Yeshiva University, she holds a Ph.D. from Harvard and has taught there, as well as at New York and Princeton Universities. Prof. Schrecker is currently a member of the national AAUP’s Committee A on Academic Freedom.

Faculty Salary Equity Program Information Session – January 2024
Presentations from a union workshop featuring Jeanne LoCicero, Legal Director of American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, along with our colleagues Audrey Truschke, chair of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT Academic Freedom Committee, and Britt Paris, co-chair of the joint Media and Narrative Committee. The presentations cover the protections we have for academic freedom at Rutgers, best practices for educators and students to exercise political expression and free speech, and legal aspects of First Amendment rights on campus.

This fall has brought a climate of fear to our campuses as a consequence of what is happening in Palestine and Israel. It is our duty as educators in this difficult moment to show our commitment to academic freedom—and to defend the rights of our students, our colleagues, and our communities to express their views, engage in scholarly discourse, and participate in activism, without fear of reprisal and retaliation.
