Letter from David Hughes/Rutgers AAUP-AFT
Dear Governors of Rutgers University:
I write—on behalf of the 7000 members of the Rutgers AAUP-AFT faculty union—to oppose your recent restriction of political expression at Rutgers University. On 6 April 2017, the Board of Governors revised the University’s Policy on Disruptions (Policy 50.3.5) and rewrote the related section of the Student Code of Conduct (Policy 10.2.11).
