New AAUP Statement on Academic Boycotts Released

The AAUP has released a new Statement on Academic Boycotts, which was written and unanimously approved by Committee A on Academic Freedom and adopted by the
AAUP’s governing Council on August 9.
The new statement reconsiders the AAUP’s prior categorical opposition to academic boycotts outlined in the 2006 report
On Academic Boycotts. The AAUP’s revised policy maintains that academic boycotts are not in themselves violations of academic freedom and can instead be legitimate tactical responses to conditions that are fundamentally incompatible
with the mission of higher education. For more information see: Statement on Academic Boycotts | AAUP.
