🚨On the recent Vanderbilt report on the humanities: “the committee takes a…disturbing direction toward endorsing academic authoritarianism—the use of administrative power to seize control of academic departments + impose ideological standards on them in order to purge leftist scholars.”

There is virtually no evidence offered in the report for its sweeping conclusions about the entirety of the humanities.
President Donald Trump's administration put dozens of college campuses under investigation last year and cut federal funding unless they came in line with his Republican agenda.
The AAUP-UNC Chapel Hill chapter calls on the Board of Trustees to reverse their vote and respect shared governance and academic freedom, key principles that will allow UNC to continue as one of the best public universities in the world.

Sobering. At Nevada's two R1 doctoral universities, @unevadareno.bsky.social and @unlv.edu, nominal average salaries for all faculty ranks actual declined by 0.7% from 2024-25 to 2025-26. After inflation, salaries are down by over 4%. Falling behind again.
Today, the AAUP released the Annual Report on the Economic Status of the Profession, 2025–26.
It is sobering.
Full-time faculty salaries are down about 0.4% in real, inflation-adjusted terms. Average full-time faculty salaries remain 9.5% below fall 2019 & about 5.8% below fall 2008.
