Higher Education
The AFT’s Real Solutions for Higher Education is a multiyear campaign to ensure higher education truly serves students and communities and to reclaim higher education as a public good.
Our Issues
Increasing public funding for higher education will ensure everyone has the opportunity to access affordable, high-quality higher education.
Our colleges and universities must be sites of robust debate, free expression, and the contest of ideas while ensuring a safe environment for all members of the campus community.
Improving job security, pay, and professional respect for all faculty and staff, with the goal of ending contingency of employment, will strengthen our campuses and communities.
The AFT is committed to combating the most recent extremist attacks that seek to reverse decades of progress.
Bringing experiential learning to all students can engage and empower them and make academic material more relevant.
