NJ AAUP protests restructuring plan
accuses administration of violating faculty guide June 3, 2021 | 4:06pm EDT
The New Jersey branch of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has sent a letter to University President Dr. Joseph Nyre, protesting the administration’s proposed restructuring plan, calling it a “violation of shared governance.”
The plan, announced in late April by Provost Katia Passerini, would change the structure of several colleges, merging the College of Communications and the Arts with the College of Education and Human Services, merge the College of Nursing with the School of Health and Medical Sciences, create closer ties between the School of Diplomacy and International Relations and Seton Hall Law, and make internal changes in the College of Arts and Sciences.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas Board of Regents has asked the state s six public universities to provide a list of courses that include Critical Race Theory concepts.
The regents request came in response to a request from Sen. Brenda Dietrich, a Topeka Republican, who said she was seeking information on the theory only so she could better answer questions from her constituents.
Critical race theory seeks to show how historical inequities and racism affect current public policy and social conditions. Critics say it promotes a distorted view of American history and vilifies white Americans.
If universities can sack tenured faculty without due process, it will set a dangerous precedent one that could ultimately be a death sentence for the profession, argues Reshmi Dutt-Ballerstadt.
