Purdue Group skills against educational expenses, visa revocations

West Lafayette, ind. – At the end of the campaign day of the American Association of University Professors, around 80 people turned out to be the perceived threats to university on Thursday.

“I only know that some of us are really concerned about the future of university education,” said Michael Johnston. “Today I think that in my opinion we are the greatest crisis in university formation in our lives. The faculty is upset because we were greeted by the administration of silence.”

Johnston is the head of the Purdue chapter of the American Association of University of Professors and was the first of five speakers at Rallye on Thursday afternoon in Memorial Mall. Johnston informed concerns about the administration of President Donald Trump, who revoked funds for certain programs to call up student and faculty visa, and a perceived terminal against demonstrators.

He expressed his concern that Purdue administrators did not publicly express the students and the faculty.

“Why don’t you give us support and let us know that you are with us?” Asked Johnston. “We feel isolated and alone.

“The administration did not say a word of support for the faculty, whose careers are in danger for this reason,” he said. “In view of the silence, the faculty must conclude that this university takes care of playing nicely with the government and protecting its brand more than politically neutral than standing with the faculty. The faculty is also concerned, deported or its colleagues or students deported.”

Jennifer DobBS-Oates from the Science Department of Human Development spoke of her concerns about university formation and how it can be discouraged for professors in their daily tasks.

“We are in the middle of something enormal, and the minutia cannot feel very important,” said Dobbs-Oates. “But what I know from studying human development and what I know from teaching college students is that daily affairs are also important. The daily affairs for the students who are currently at this university.

“You still deserve this chance to get this training, an opportunity to take this degree,” she said. “I do it because there are college beginners and students in the second year as well as juniors and seniors who need us now.”

Some of the speakers also dealt with questions of the union formation of graduate helpers and houses as well as climate change.

Lindsey Weinberg from Honors College spoke of the perceived threat to the revocation of the visa and the effects on faculty and students.

“This has produced an overwhelming climate of fear, self-censorship and deprivation of educational and employment opportunities for our students,” said Weinberg. “Our international students are not goods that are used up and ejected. They are our students and earn their rights protected by their faculty.

“If you come for one of us, you will come for all of us.”

A man in the crowd occurred to pronounce his alarm about the current climate of the Purdue administration and the Trump administration. He said he saw two options: protecting himself or fighting himself.

“What is the plan afterwards? What will we say to the Purdue administration and the Trump administration, for which we are ready to fight and be ready to bear the costs?”

There was no answer from the crowd or the members of the Aaup.
