A coalition of over 200 people came together today at the office of Marc Rowan in NYC, a private equity billionaire & architect of Trump’s university loyalty oath compact, to defend higher education!

Higher education belongs to the students, faculty, and staff—not to billionaires & authoritarians!

🎷Get up and get down for higher ed 🎷

Our coalition rejects the compact!

We believe that higher education should be free from partisan interference and billionaire influence including that of Marc Rowan, who spearheaded Trump’s dangerous loyalty oath compact!

“Decisions are being made behind closed doors & without faculty input. We weren’t invited to the table. There’s no transparency in this process. We’ve been shut out at every turn…”

— Sarah Zuckerman, UNL-AAUP president

Everyone from across the political spectrum must unite against Trump’s loyalty oaths!

The community power we build on & across our campuses is key to protecting our freedoms.
