American colleges and universities have long been the envy of the world. They provide the freedom to explore the boundaries of human knowledge, to question what we think we know, and to push our country forward. History is littered with moments where these institutions and these freedoms have been attacked-with horrifying consequences. The need is urgent! We stand up for science, humanities, literature, mathematics, medicine, research progress, all students, all faculty, all staff, and freedom. We demand university leaders across the nation to do the same: unite with peers, publicly, and STAND UP WITH US.
