What is behind FIRE's attacks on AAUP? (opinion)
Briefly

Alex Morey, the vice president of the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, criticized the American Association of University Professors following Todd Wolfson's comments on Trump’s election.
Morey suggests that the AAUP no longer serves its purpose and implies that FIRE could fill the void for those seeking guidance on academic freedom.
FIRE's mission is distinct from academic freedom; its focus is strictly on individual free speech, diverging from the collective rights and governance essential to universities.
The AAUP’s stance on academic freedom emphasizes the need for shared governance and a collective mission in higher education, contrasting with FIRE’s individualistic approach.
