The Spring 2025 issue of Academe has been recently published (Volume 111, No. 2). Thsi is what the editors had to say about its contents:
Our spring issue focuses on the fight for higher education in the first months of the second Trump administration. Articles consider the labor movement’s role in defending higher education and democracy, the implications of Trump’s executive orders for campus communities, and the Right’s decades-long war on universities. This issue also includes a pair of articles—published to coincide with the release of the twelfth edition of the Redbook—about the importance of AAUP policies in times of crisis and how chapters can use AAUP policy language to strengthen protections for academic freedom and faculty governance.The table of contents and links follow.
