"Be it resolved that, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (#MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance [#BTAA]…Under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund…Participating institutions shall make available, at the request of the
institution under direct political infringement, the services of their legal counsel, governance experts, and public affairs offices to coordinate a unified and vigorous response."
I find Senator #CoryBooker and his actions uplifting. It’s important to find #joy in this moment as well, so I will share some personal news.
My son was accepted to five of the six colleges he applied to and has decided to go to #Rutgers University - New Brunswick in #NewJersey! The hub and I couldn’t be prouder of him.

Rutgers University Libraries' Open and Affordable Textbook Program! Students are saving big $ on course materials. "The annual program awards research funds to Rutgers instructors who make their courses more affordable for their students by using low-cost materials, library content, or open educational resources."

According to a recent national survey, more than half of college students have taken fewer courses or avoided taking a particular course due to the cost of required course materials.
American Association of University Professors [#AAUP] v. #Rubio
A case challenging the #Trump administration’s policy of ideological deportation.
"On March 25, 2025, the Knight Institute filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s policy of arresting, detaining, and deporting noncitizen students and faculty who participate in pro-Palestinian activism. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), AAUP’s #Harvard, #NYU, and #Rutgers campus chapters, and the #MiddleEastStudies Association, argues that the policy chills noncitizens from speaking and, by extension, robs these organizations and their U.S. citizen members of noncitizens’ perspectives on a matter of significant public debate.
"The lawsuit responds to a climate of repression and fear on university campuses. Federal agencies are attempting to deport multiple individuals for their #ProPalestinian advocacy, including #MahmoudKhalil, a leader of protests at Columbia University. These actions have sent chills through the community of noncitizen students and faculty on campuses around the country, causing some to pull out of academic conferences, stay home from #protests, and withdraw from other forms of public advocacy and engagement.
"The lawsuit alleges that the administration’s policy of ideological deportation violates the First Amendment right of the plaintiffs to hear from and associate with noncitizen students and faculty, that it is unconstitutionally vague, and that it violates the Administrative Procedure Act. The suit seeks a court order declaring that the policy is unlawful and enjoining the federal government from enforcing it."
Status: Complaint filed on March 25, 2025.
Case Information: American Association of University Professors v. Rubio, No. 1:25-cv-10685 (D.Mass).

#AAUP, Allies Sue over #Trump Policy of Arresting and Threatening to Deport #Students and #Faculty for #LawfulSpeech
"The national AAUP; chapters at #Harvard, #Rutgers, and #NYU; and the #MiddleEastStudies Association today filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Trump administration from carrying out large-scale arrests, detentions, and deportations of noncitizen students and faculty members who participate in #ProPalestinian #protests and other protected #FirstAmendment activities.
"We believe that the administration’s ideological-deportation policy violates the First Amendment by targeting constitutionally protected speech that Americans have a right to hear and engage with. The policy has created a climate of fear and repression on campuses around the country. We are represented in the case by the #KnightFirstAmendmentInstitute at #ColumbiaUniversity, #AhilanArulanantham, and Zimmer, Citron & Clarke LLP.
"Following executive orders issued by President Trump in January, the federal agencies that enforce immigration laws have arrested and detained several people associated with U.S. colleges and universities, including a legal permanent resident, on the basis of constitutionally protected speech and association.
"Today’s filing argues that the ideological-deportation policy has created a climate of #repression and intense fear on university #campuses, 'terrorizing students and faculty for their exercise of First Amendment rights in the past, intimidating them from exercising those rights now, and silencing political viewpoints that the government disfavors.'
"'The Trump administration is going after international #scholars and students who speak their minds about #Palestine, but make no mistake: they won't stop there. They'll come next for those who teach the history of #slavery or who provide #GenderAffirming health care or who research #ClimateChange or who counsel students about their reproductive choices. We all have to draw a line together—as the old labor movement slogan says: an injury to one is an injury to all,' says AAUP President Todd Wolfson.
"'The First Amendment means the government can’t arrest, detain, or deport people for lawful political expression—it’s as simple as that. This practice is one we’d ordinarily associate with the most repressive political regimes, and it should have no place in our democracy,' says #JameelJaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute."

"The agreement comes months after #encampments formed on the #university’s New Brunswick and Newark campuses to protest the war in #Gaza, and it is meant to resolve reports of bias against #Jewish and #Muslim students spurred amid conflict in the #MiddleEast.
Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary for #civilrights with the Department of Education, said the agreement will address serious issues of noncompliance with federal law “regarding different treatment of students based on stereotypes about the countries students and their families come from.”
Under the agreement, #Rutgers is required to review policies regarding the enforcement of #TitleVI of the federal #CivilRightsAct, which bars #discrimination based on race, color, and national origin."

"The sting operation found that an alumnus of #Rutgers created a private social media network where “narcotics distributors could post menus for drugs and solicit buyers from within the Rutgers University community.”
Rutgers students who established their affiliation with the school were allowed to join the network, browse the “menus,” and contact distributors to negotiate drug purchases."

A man accused of vandalizing an Islamic center at New Jersey’s flagship university on the Muslim holiday of Eid-al-Fitr has admitted to a hate crime, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.
Jacob Beacher, 24, of North Plainfield, now faces up to three years in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 11. He pleaded guilty Wednesday to damaging religious property.
Beacher initially was charged in April with single counts of intentional or attempted obstruction of religious practice and making false statements to federal authorities. The charges stemmed from an April 10 break-in at the Center for Islamic Life at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
Prosecutors have said Beacher damaged property at the site, including several religious artifacts and numerous other items that contained holy language from the Quran, Islam’s sacred scripture. Authorities said Beacher also stole a Palestinian flag and a charity box belonging to the center.
