Opinion – Colorado’s colleges and universities need collective action to fight Trump administration policies

Co-presidents of the Colorado Conference of the AAUP, Aaron Schneider (Leo Block chair and professor of International Studies at Denver University) and Steve Mumme (Emeritus professor in the Colorado State University Department of Political Science) make a passionate case for all Colorado Universities to band together to form a mutual protection compact to protect Academic Freedom. “Colorado’s AAUP faculty believe it is time to pursue the path of institutional cooperation and mutual defense. The barrage mounted against our universities has just begun and more threats from government and private actors are sure to come.”

We need to unite today to defend our freedoms for tomorrow. Please join the AAUP mailing list and write you CSU Administration and the Board of Governors to voice your support for the AAUP Mutual Defense Compact for Colorado Institutes of Higher Education.
