Rutgers University Senate passed a resolution to urge President Holloway and Rutgers leadership to propose and establish a Mutual Academic Compact (MADC) among all the colleges and universities in the Big 10 to mutually defend ourselves from the harmful practices of the federal administration. Our staff senators deserve accolades for their determination to make meaningful change to protect higher ed across the country.
Since the resolution was passed, other schools have followed Rutgers lead to join the MADC to work together to fight. Sounds a bit like a union…where an injury to one is an injury to all.
