Hear @proftwolf.bsky.social: “OUR compact is: higher education as a public good—that means free college for all; that means an end to student debt; that means work with dignity for everyone on our campuses; it means freedom to teach and freedom to learn without Big Brother on our back!”

Higher education workers are out here in NYC at billionaire Marc Rowan's office to say: Hands Off Higher Education!

Rowan is an architect of Trump's loyalty oath compact & the assault on higher ed today.

The university belongs to the students, faculty & staff—not to the billionaires!

We need teachers, we need books, we need the money the billionaires took! Come out NYC!
