Taking on the Corporatization of Higher Education

 

From skyrocketing tuition and student debt to underpaid, overworked faculty and staff, we all see it happening every day -- more and more, our colleges and universities are running on a corporate business model that controls the very education that is offered, and that hurts students and employees.  Come to this forum to hear about how students and higher education workers are organizing and fighting back against the corporate agenda.

 

The forum will feature: Andriana Foiles Sifuentes, lecturer from UMass Dartmouth; Deborah Keisch, founding producer of Education Radio; and a panel of activists from Debt Free Future, the Student Immigrant Movement, the Center for Education Policy and Advocacy, Adjunct Action, and PHENOM.
