Megan McArdle thinks the American Association of University Professors is making a mistake.
In her Aug. 10 column, “What the professors lost by winning with El-Sayed,” McArdle argued that the AAUP’s first-ever political endorsement — of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan’s Democratic Senate primary — risked reinforcing the perception of ideological politicization that has made universities vulnerable to attack. Her argument gets the central question right: Should professors respond to the politicization of higher education by retreating from politics, or by organizing politically themselves?
