November 20, 2024 Austerity Blues: Fighting for the Soul of Public Higher Education
The provided Book, an excerpt from "Austerity Blues: Fighting for the Soul of Public Higher Education," presents a critical analysis of the changes occurring in public higher education in the United States. The authors argue that public institutions of higher learning are facing a crisis driven by neoliberal policies of privatization, disinvestment, and austerity. This has led to increased tuition costs, the rise of part-time faculty, and a focus on "metrics" of accountability that prioritize efficiency over quality of education. The authors explore the historical context of public higher education expansion in the postwar era and contrast it with the current trends of disinvestment, arguing that these changes are harming access to education for students from underrepresented backgrounds and undermining the principles of a democratic public good. They then present various sites of resistance to these changes, highlighting the efforts of faculty unions, student activists, and those advocating for free tuition. The authors ultimately conclude that a new approach to public higher education is needed, one that prioritizes quality, equity, and democratic principles, and embraces technology in a way that enhances teaching and learning rather than driving down costs.
