Members of the University of Connecticut graduate union, graduate senate, faculty, and graduate programs rallied in support of academic freedom around noon Wednesday outside of the Wilbur Cross Building.
Academic freedom, which is defined by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) as full freedom in research, publication and classroom curriculum, is one of the main goals of the faculty union.
The Graduate Employee Union, which was formed last April, encouraged people to rally in support of the AAUP.
