Sharing this important question!
Is there a national organization organizing and supporting faculty at universities cross the US working to resist and fight back against university admin efforts to impose AI into pedagogy and research?
It would be supremely helpful to be part of a shared campaign effort across universities.

This is 10-12 tenure-track assistant professors’ salaries at many places. A whole academic program’s worth of money, pissed away, In Times of Austerity, on rent-a-cops going after students who dared speak. Nobody behind this should have a career.
The University of Michigan spent $800,000 hiring private investigators--one of whom FAKED A DISABILITY--to surveil anti-genocide protesting students. I'm speechless.

Also volunteer to do a teach in with @standupforscience.bsky.social to reach constituents.
Every scientist should discuss the consequences of the NIH and NSF grant terminations and delays and failure to fund at their home institution at the end of a talk or seminar. Even if a scientist’s own funding is not threatened, I GUARANTEE there is someone at their institution affected.
It's breaking my brain to hear amazing talks that show treatments that help patients developed out of fundamental research, while temporarily ignoring the backdrop of the American science funding disaster

TL;DR: Montana is the first state to close the law enforcement data broker loophole, requiring police to obtain a warrant for sensitive location data instead of buying it. This significant step protects citizens' Fourth Amendment rights and may inspire similar national actions.
