As the @AAUP prepares a new "Redbook," Jonathan Rees covers overdue revisions to one statement: "People who want to know what the AAUP thinks of online education are going to want to know what we think about academic freedom and shared governance online. wp.me/p8xr4h-cA6

"No one is coming to save us. We all have to be all in for all of us." In December, I asked faculty to put democracy on the syllabus. Today I ask all of us to put democracy in the community. Read more in link @AcademeBlog@AAUPacademeblog.org/2024/01/18/put…
