Defending Loyola Against Assaults on Higher Education and Democracy: A Teach-In

Rescheduled Date/Time TBA

Sister Jean Multi-Purpose Room, Damen Center, Lakeshore Campus

Hosted by LUC AAUP

The first year of the Trump administration has left universities under siege.  Censorship, investigations, funding freezes, and the gutting of basic scientific infrastructure are changing what is taught and studied, as deportation campaigns and the targeting of political opponents raise the prospect of a more sweeping authoritarianism.

What are the potential impacts of these measures on Loyola?  What changes can students and faculty expect in the near future?  What can be done to push back?  Leading experts from Loyola’s faculty will describe recent changes in critical areas, followed by a discussion.
