“How can an accreditor investigate state interference - from the state that’s paying its employees?” - Dr. Cassanello, UFF President and UCF history professor nicholsonstudentmedia.com/news/ucf-first…


DeSantis demands 835K because his failed efforts to break public employee unions have created staffing headaches at PERC. Union busting is an expensive flop — and now he wants the public to foot the bill!!!

DeSantis's budget would add $835k to hire six new staff to help PERC cope with the higher workload resulting from the 2023 anti-union law. "Since SB 256 passed in 2023, the Public Employees Relations Commission (PERC) has experienced a surge in workload across all areas."

This @McGeeReports and @nico_gjc story on Mark Welsh is stellar. The records they got were incredible, and show the intervention and influence of top politicians in the A&M president's ouster — all as Texas colleges move rightward. texastribune.org/2025/12/10/tex… #txlege #highered

🚨 UFF endorses and supports this petition!nSign to SUPPORT Florida college instructors & DEFEND academic freedom. This “rule” is a bad-faith effort to interfere with curriculum & impose extreme surveillance of faculty. The new college rules also limit student-centered pedagogy!

🚨 Academic freedom is under attack, and we’re not standing down. We, alongside the @UnitedFacultyFL, have filed a petition seeking to protect academic freedom and the learning environment our students deserve. Read more: bit.ly/3Y4e9zu

No one takes seriously a new college ranking system designed by ideologues to reward themselves. TX and FL are not fooled. The Manhattan Institute’s “ranking” is a fig leaf meant to hide the REAL reputational damage caused by their educational “reforms.”

Right-wing think tank the Manhattan Institute has created its own college ranking system. It ranks institutions where it has had great success imposing an ideological takeover—University of Florida + University of Texas at Austin—in the top two spots. ⬇️ wsj.com/opinion/colleg…



As this administration’s attacks on higher education ramp up, so does public support to halt attempts to regulate speech and curriculum.
