The American Association of University Professors’ acronym is AAUP. But its latest action could lead some to read “AAUP” as the “Anti-Israel Association of University Professors.”
Why? Last month, the Chronicle of Higher Education ran a story titled, “Why the AAUP Changed Its Stance on Academic Boycotts,” describing why the AAUP “announced it would no longer categorically oppose academic boycotts, in which faculty members decline to work with other scholars or academic institutions.” Under the new AAUP policy, such boycotts “can [now] be considered legitimate tactical responses to conditions that are fundamentally incompatible with the mission of higher education.” In a (failed) attempt to cover itself, the AAUP adds that such boycotts “should target only institutions of higher education that themselves violate academic freedom or the fundamental rights upon which academic freedom depends.”
What does this mean? According to its former president, Cary Nelson, it means that the AAUP has officially greenlighted boycotts of Israeli universities. This new “right” gifted to member universities by the AAUP will, writes Nelson, “include the right to refuse to write letters of recommendation for highly qualified students who wish to study at Israeli universities, an action that will be defended as only boycotting Israeli institutions. Not that any affected student will accept the distinction.” This explains the title of Nelson’s article: “The AAUP Abandons Academic Freedom.”
What will be the result of this policy change? Nelson “predict[s] that hundreds of those and other individual micro-boycotts of Jewish and Israeli students and faculty will be initiated during the 2024-25 academic year. . . . There will also be dedicated group efforts to criminalize collaborative research projects between faculty in America and Israel, projects that often entail institutional endorsement and support.” […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
