Join the PSC and state legislators Diana Moreno and Julia Salazar for a Zoom town hall on the mounting threats to our academic freedom and the ongoing legislative efforts in Albany to protect the rights of faculty, staff, and students to free speech and free inquiry.
Salazar and Moreno are the prime sponsors of a bill that would codify the AAUP’s definition of academic freedom in state law. From the bill sponsor’s memo: “To enforce this definition and provide relief to employees alleging an academic freedom violation, the bill also establishes a final binding arbitration process for employees at public higher education institutions, and a private right of action for employees at all higher education institutions.”
