I'm not shocked, just disappointed. When I asked my local #faculty union president how the #union would respond if I was fired etc. for speaking up about the Palestinian #genocide, I got a response significantly different from the Union's "we protect academic freedom" line.
I think I'm being told I'm on my own if I say anything publicly about #Gaza.

What will [redacted]'s action be if faculty are targeted by administration or law enforcement for using their free speech to support Palestine or criticize the actions of Netanyahu and the IDF? Will [redacted] defend faculty who are threatened with job or legal action if their only "offense" is saying politically unpopular things about Palestine, Israel, and/or the US funding (and potentially now military involvement) in the ongoing actions against Palestinians?](https://friendica-leipzig.de/photo/preview/600/567672 "Hi, [redacted],

This is a complicated issue and each case would be unique so | can't provide a standard response. We would represent our members at the university, but the specifics would have to be looked at. We would have no ability or authority to defend in any criminal matter or investigation.
