The EPOL statement of NO CONFIDENCE. We, the undersigned - TopicsExpress

The EPOL statement of NO CONFIDENCE. We, the undersigned faculty from the Department of Education Policy, Organization and Leadership (EPOL), in the long-standing traditions of our department’s mission to advocate for social justice in education and to ensure that minority scholarship has a place at the university, urge the University of Illinois Board of Trustees to consider and approve the appointment of Associate Professor Steven Salaita. We are concerned that the abrogation of principles of shared governance and the chilling effects of this situation on academic freedom are not only generating international and national harm to the University of Illinois, but also undermining our students’ confidence in the university to provide them with a supportive environment for studying the difficult issues facing education in a pluralistic democracy and diverse global context. Social media is one context in which we are all able to test ideas, form thoughts, and interact in real time with a wider community; it is a place where spontaneity and emotion can enter into the public square in new ways. We believe that Professor Salaita’s academic and non-academic pursuits exemplify changes in our civic life and we would welcome him as a member of our university’s intellectual community. We value education as a process where contentious and urgent social issues can be debated with commitment, intensity, and rigor without fear of recourse. We urge the administration to see the damage inflicted on our community of scholars and our future teachers when silence and surveillance replace expression. In the absence of positive action leading to the reinstatement of Prof. Salaita, we express our lack of confidence in the Board of Trustees.
