On April 8, the Davis Faculty Association joined the Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA) and 30 faculty associations nationwide in an amici curiae brief supporting a preliminary injunction sought by AAUP against the Trump administration. AAUP v. Rubio seeks to halt the ideologically-targeted deportations of students nationally. Our brief draws on the experiences of UC faculty arguing that the Trump Administration’s ideological deportation policies profoundly harm our universities by endangering scholarly research, impeding our core educational mission, and policing campus activities related to speech and expression. The brief is posted on AAUP’s website.
