Stand Up for Yale launched in spring 2025 in response to the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against higher education. More than 7,000 alumni — spanning decades and representing every school on campus — signed letters to the administration asking them to stand up for academic freedom at Yale and beyond, which you can read here and here. The Yale Daily News also covered the outpouring of alumni support.

Since then, we have held events at Yale College Reunions in 2025 and 2026 to rally alumni support for Yale’s academic independence. We partnered with Crimson Courage to host a joint tailgate at the 2025 Harvard-Yale Game.

Stand Up for Yale is led by a small group of alumni volunteers. You can reach us at standupforyale@gmail.com.
