A Statement of Support forOccupy @ AAR/SBL
Members of AAR and SBL hold aplace in the higher educational economy that requires them to think about boththis and the next generation of scholars and institutions. The Occupy movementis a call to all of us to address everything from the rise of contingentfaculty, the burdens carried by student members, and the barriers to full guildparticipation. Our governance committees, our members, and our programsneed to tackle these pressing issues of fair practice and open opportunity thatthreaten scholarship and the academy. The SBL Council and the AAR Board are moving to address these issues, in concert with other bodies such as theAmerican Council of Learned Societies and the Coalition on the AcademicWorkforce. We honor AAR and SBL members active in efforts for a justsociety, and we look forward to progress in the days to come.

Jack Fitzmier, AAR Executive Director
In 2007, the SBL initiated a taskforce on the Bible in secondary schools; in part a response to increased interest in offering Bible electives in public schools. While the number of schools offering Bible electives is relatively small, the SBL provides some teaching resources and updates on nationwide trends. For those of you in the DC area with an interest in Bible electives in public schools, the documentary "In God We Teach" will run at the Newseum, on Tuesday, November 1st
