This resolution was passed amid vocal protests against other universities yielding to the political pressures from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The public is desperate for leadership from any quarter,&#8221; explained Michael Yarbrough, a law and society professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice. &#8220;Higher education can lead the way and spark broader change. This is a crucial reminder of our core mission, which we must urgently reaffirm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This leadership initiative involves a resolution to create a &#8220;mutual defense compact&#8221; among members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, including Rutgers. This pact would entail the allocation of substantial funds to a collective defense pool, offering &#8220;immediate and strategic support to any member institution facing direct political or legal challenges.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Rutgers Senate, comprising faculty, students, staff, and alumni, has urged the university president to spearhead a meeting with Big Ten academic and legal leaders to begin implementing the compact.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution, adopted on March 28, followed a lawsuit filed by the Rutgers faculty union against the Trump administration. The legal action aimed to thwart efforts to detain and deport international students who supported Palestinian rights, criticized Israel&#8217;s military actions endorsed by the U.S. in Gaza and the West Bank, or participated in pro-Palestinian campus demonstrations over the preceding year.<\/p>\n<p>Recent executive orders by Trump to combat &#8220;antisemitism&#8221; and deport those &#8220;espousing hateful ideology&#8221; have led to the detention of individuals including Mahmoud Khalil, a former graduate student from Columbia University; Rumeysa Ozturk, a Ph.D. candidate at Tufts University; and Badar Khan Suri, a Georgetown University scholar, all involved in actions critical of U.S. policy toward Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pull-quote\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve been striving to overcome this challenge of collective action. This initiative seems like a major positive stride forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The First Amendment clearly prohibits the government from arresting, detaining, or deporting individuals for lawful political expression,&#8221; stated Jameel Jaffer, executive director at the Knight First Amendment Institute, representing the Rutgers union and other academic groups in the lawsuit. &#8220;Such practices are reminiscent of the most oppressive regimes and are entirely out of place in a democratic society.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Rutgers resolution calls for the participating schools to provide, upon request, their legal, governance, and public relations expertise to mount a coordinated and robust defense.<\/p>\n<p>This could include legal defense, countersuits, filing amicus briefs, engaging in legislative advocacy, and building coalitions, as detailed in the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Solving this issue of collective action has been a puzzle for all of us,&#8221; noted Elizabeth Wrigley-Field, a professor at the University of Minnesota, another Big Ten institution. &#8220;This appears to be a significant, positive step in the right direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A Rutgers Senate member, preferring anonymity, told <em>Common Dreams<\/em> that the university community felt &#8220;relief&#8221; and &#8220;joy&#8221; upon learning of the Senate&#8217;s proactive stance against the administration&#8217;s encroachments on academic freedom.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s heartening to have something concrete to rally around,&#8221; the member commented, having been instrumental in advancing the resolution. &#8220;Those of us connected to higher education are looking to leadership from prominent universities to defend against these attacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the member, the existential threat posed by Trump&#8217;s actions is palpable across campuses like Rutgers. &#8220;I&#8217;m proud to be part of the Rutgers faculty today,&#8221; declared Michal Raucher, a Jewish studies professor at Rutgers\u2014New Brunswick, in light of the resolution&#8217;s passage.<\/p>\n<p>Ebony Elizabeth Thomas, who chairs the joint program in English and education at the University of Michigan, also a Big Ten school, praised the Rutgers Senate&#8217;s leadership. &#8220;I deeply respect our Rutgers counterparts for their acts of solidarity during the recent campus strikes. My respect for them has grown immensely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last May, nearly 100 Rutgers faculty members were ready to form a human shield around a Palestinian solidarity camp on campus as the administration&#8217;s ultimatum loomed, threatening arrests.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our community&#8217;s diversity is something we treasure,&#8221; the Senate member added. &#8220;It enriches us, bringing a multitude of perspectives to our discussions on various issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As the primary public university and major land grant institution in the state, we take our responsibility to the people of New Jersey and to public higher education very seriously,&#8221; they continued. &#8220;We recognize these attacks for what they truly are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In stark contrast, Columbia University has faced severe criticism from advocates of First Amendment rights for complying with the Trump administration&#8217;s demands, following threats to withdraw $400 million in federal grants and contracts over alleged inaction regarding harassment of Jewish students.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Columbia allowed NYPD officers to forcibly remove and arrest students during pro-Palestinian protests last year, also taking steps such as suspensions, expulsions, and increased campus security.<\/p>\n<p>The Rutgers Senate chair plans to meet with university president Jonathan Holloway, who will be stepping down in June, to encourage him to endorse the resolution.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is his chance to become a legendary figure in academia by taking a firm stand and rallying his peers,&#8221; the Senate member suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Yarbrough emphasized that the crackdown and some institutions&#8217; compliance demonstrate the crucial role of education in a functioning democracy. &#8220;We should embody democratic values,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And in times like these, the importance of that is starkly apparent.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While some university leaders may yield to political pressures, Yarbrough noted, &#8220;the real university community\u2014faculty, staff, and students\u2014are actively resisting. This is reflective of the broader U.S. situation where most officials aren&#8217;t resisting as we&#8217;d hope, but grassroots movements are genuinely pushing back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s what&#8217;s necessary to counteract these types of authoritarian threats,&#8221; Yarbrough concluded. &#8220;It all comes down to the people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Editor&#8217;s note: This article has been updated to include further remarks from Michael Yarbrough and a Rutgers Senate member.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-left kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4212&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;22&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Rutgers Senate Suggests Big Ten Alliance to Shield Campuses from Trump\\u0026#039;s Attacks&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 5px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 22px;
