The APA Mini-Series Blog focuses on the critical intersection of academic freedom and professional rights of philosophers, particularly in light of recent political changes. Amid growing concern regarding academic institutions' survival under the Trump administration, a panel discussion highlighted the urgent need for academics, especially in blue states, to defend core university values. The article reflects on the alarming deterioration of conditions for higher education, including protests and governmental scrutiny, suggesting that these challenges extend beyond geographic political boundaries to affect institutions nationwide.
"Things are going to get worse in the red states. That makes it especially important for academics in the blue states to vigorously defend universities' core values."
"The attacks on higher education aren't limited to red states. The ferocity with which the Trump administration is going after Columbia University is just one example."
