University of Texas – Austin

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.
