Freedom to Learn “Texas Day of Action” Rally

Type of Event: In-Person

Day of Event Contact: Karma Chavez – [email protected]

This April, the Texas Senate passed three anti-higher ed bills (SB16-a ban on so-called “CRT” in higher ed, SB17-a ban on DEI programs in higher ed, and SB18-a bill that attempts to abolish tenure). These bills are now going to the Texas House.

Texas faculty, working as private citizens, have organized a Freedom to Learn Texas Day of Action on May 3rd–both in Austin and from wherever people are–to stand up for the freedom to learn.

The Day of Action has been organized by the Texas Faculty Coalition in partnership with the UT-Austin chapter of the American Association of University Professors – American Federation of Teachers and Black Brown Dialogues On Policy.
