------------------------------------------------------------
This month’s Higher Education newsletter features frontline efforts to transform the university—from a space that reproduces inequality to an institution that promotes democracy. An article by Aparna Gopalan illuminates the struggle against casteism in US workplaces, and how academic labor unions are in a prime position to tackle caste oppression. An article by NPQ’s Economic Justice Editor, Rithika Ramamurthy, overviews the surge of the graduate worker labor movement across private universities last year, and why these institutions are fighting against unionization. Next, we take an in-depth look at how universities hoard wealth through land ownership—and what can be done to redistribute resources to local communities. Our last feature proposes how to rebuild the university into a democratic institution for the public good.
