AAUP is an organization which can connect professors from different colleges and universities around the country. Instructors with similar goals of quality in education and academic freedom can come together because collaboration between instructors is important too! Currently, UGA does not have its own chapter website but Augusta University, Emory University, Kennesaw State and others have websites available online.

Polly Strong, president of the UT chapter of the AAUP, told Rufo that she believed in intellectual diversity but that a commitment to the concept wasn't what she heard from him. She said her personal hero is John Dewey, the pragmatist philosopher who advocated for academic freedom, due process, and neutrality in higher learning and asked if Rufo supported those values.

Rufo derided Dewey, saying it would have been better if he'd never been born, and dismissed his values. "Academic freedom, due process, neutrality - those are means, not ends," Rufo said. "If you have an erasure of ends, what you get is sheer power politics, you get everything reducible to will and domination, and then you get an academic life that drifts into witchcraft, into phrenology, into gender studies." Rufo concluded by saying that academics who continue to adhere to Dewey's principles, "frankly, deserve what's coming."

Strong was completely unawed by the implied threat. "The 'ends' of academic freedom, due process, and shared governance is education for a democratic society," she said simply. "That is the basis of John Dewey's vision and many, many university professors believe that today."
