STATEMENT OF TRI-CO SOLIDARITY
ON THE NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
Endorsed by the AAUP Chapters at Haverford College and Swarthmore College and AAUP Members at Bryn Mawr College
From the Coalition for Action in Higher Ed:
As campus workers and citizens, educators and researchers, staff, students, and university community members, we exercise a powerful collective voice in advancing the democratic mission of our colleges and universities. It is our labor and our ideas which sustain higher education as a project that preserves and extends social equality and the common good—as a project of social emancipation.
On April 17, 2025, we will hold a one-day action to renew this vision of higher education as an autonomous public good, and university workers as its most important resource.
