AEJMC members approved resolutions during the 2022 year.
December 8, 2022
Four resolutions recently put forth by the AEJMC Standing Committee on Professional Freedom and Responsibility (PF&R) and voted on by AEJMC members have all overwhelmingly passed. The vote for all of the 4 resolutions closed Nov. 17.
AEJMC has developed a strategic, multi-pronged approach on releasing the four resolutions in conjunction with action items for each resolution.
The first resolution regarding educational gag order legislation and academic freedom involves a news release distribution to AEJMC members and appropriate media organizations; collaborations between AEJMC and other organizations such as the AAUP to remain vigilant on efforts to restrict free speech in the classroom; and a partnership with ASJMC to develop best practices and guidance for deans, directors and chairs to support faculty in responding to legislation that may impact the classroom.
Information regarding the other three resolutions will follow as they are released during the next month.
- Resolution One: Educational Gag Order Legislation and Academic Freedom
- Resolution Two: New Voices Laws
- Resolution Three: The 40th Anniversary of the Death of Vincent Chin and Anti-AAPI Violence
- Resolution Four: Anti-Critical Race Theory Laws
