AAUP delivers petition to University of Oklahoma administration for faculty under political attack

The petition calls for OU to release full details on the policies and processes that resulted in Curth’s removal, publicly reaffirm the right for faculty and instructors to teach and grade without political interference and work with the campus community to develop a “Harassment Response and Prevention Plan” that would include clear guidelines in responding to “political attacks.” The organization also writes in the letter that it appreciates OU’s continued commitment to academic freedom, but it disagrees with Curth’s removal.
