This Tuesday, Rep. James Tipton and Rep. Aaron Thompson filed HB 490, an anti-tenure bill that gives university boards additional powers to remove faculty for financial reasons, regardless of tenure status.

This bill puts lower enrollment programs on the chopping block, and lays the groundwork for further politicization of our universities—just as we have seen in other states.

What You Can Do:

Join us in calling legislators to oppose HB 490. Sign our petition here.

Join us for our legislative impact call on Thursday February 12th at 6pm EST/5pm CST on Zoom
