As more Universities start to receive the offer to sign the Compact for Higher Education from he current Administration, I wanted to know if it would be possible for WSU faculty to publicly condemn the Compact and preemptively vote to reject the Compact were WSU offered other sign it. Thanks
Response
The Faculty Senate provides input and advice to our administration. A Faculty Senator can bring any issue to the Faculty Senate for consideration.

I would like to voice my support for a vote of the Faculty Senate to condemn and preemptively reject the compact. This statement by the MIT AAUP Chapter clearly outlines the legal and ethical reasons why this compact should be unacceptable to any educational institution: https://fnl.mit.edu/october-2025/statement-on-the-compact-for-academic-excellence-in-higher-education/.
Second this request. Would a Faculty Senator kindly bring this forward?
