The AAUP, AFT Connecticut, and the national AFT call on Yale University to reject any negotiated settlement with the Trump administration that would compromise academic freedom, shared governance, due process, or institutional independence. Yale has legal and moral obligations to comply with civil rights law and to protect students, faculty, staff, and patients from discrimination, but those obligations cannot be fulfilled through a closed-door agreement that gives federal officials continuing leverage over admissions, hiring, curriculum, research, medical practice, campus speech, student discipline, or faculty governance.
