President Truman had many flaws but he spoke eloquently on occasion as in this quote. His words should give many pause. The silencing of so many of our communities is a national tragedy.
Courage is contagious so speak out IF you can. Thank you!

Kudos to AAUP for standing up to preserve institutions of higher learning! Every college and university needs to be brave. And all need to form mutual defense pacts so they aren't alone when attacked.

Kudos to AAUP for standing up to preserve institutions of higher learning! Every college and university needs to be brave. And all need to form mutual defense pacts so they aren't alone when attacked.
“The AAUP noted the historic role of accreditors in policing predatory institutions, such as the president’s own Trump University, a for-profit institution that shut down in 2010. In 2017, a federal judge approved a $25 million settlement for 6,000+ students who alleged they were misled.”
Accreditors Sound Off on Executive Order
The Trump administration aims to overhaul accreditation. Agencies say they are willing to work with the federal government on reforms, but Trump’s claims are misleading. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/3EDC5Uq
