AAUP NC stands in solidarity with faculty experiencing attacks on free speech and academic freedom. See our statement, with AAUP Chapel Hill, on UNC's harmful decision to place Professor Dwayne Dixon on administrative leave.
🎉 update 10/3:
Professor Dixon was reinstated after concerted pressure from students, faculty, and community members. Stay tuned for next steps so this doesn't happen again.
