The Defense of the University

Please see the University of California Academic Council’s “The Defense of the University” (April 8 2025), which calls for immediate, sustained, and collective action to defend the University of California:

“We thus call on the Regents, President, and Chancellors of the University of California to expend every effort, commit necessary resources, and use all legal measures to defend our ability to conduct consequential, transformative research and provide high-quality teaching and mentoring. We call on our leaders to ensure the safety and privacy of students, faculty, and staff. And we further call on our leaders to protect academic freedom and faculty control of the curriculum—proactively and publicly . . . Let the future historical record show that we rose to the challenge of defending the University of California, and we did so in ways that did not betray its core values.”
