Summary
Faculty and union members at Auburn University erupted in protest this past Friday, demanding accountability after the administration dissolved the long-standing faculty senate and imposed new core curriculum mandates without review. Critics call the replacement — a Presidential Academic Advisory Board — “committee chaos,” warning it’s eroding academic freedom and empowering political appointees. But not everyone agrees: some argue the changes are overdue, targeting professors who’ve ignored accountability — ultimately aiming to protect students. The campus is now split, with heated debate over whether reform or regression is taking root. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
