------------------------------------------------------------
This month’s Higher Education newsletter examines how a set of interconnected—and avoidable—crises in higher education exploit those at the heart of the university’s mission: students and faculty. First, we excerpt from a new book, Power Despite Precarity: Strategies for the Contingent Faculty Movement in Higher Education ([link removed]) , which analyzes the rise of the most common kind of employee in higher education: contingent faculty. Next, watch a conversation between labor historians Robin D.G. Kelley and Naomi R. Williams on the struggle for a democratic and inclusive university, moderated by NPQ Economic Justice Editor Rithika Ramamurthy and scholar Dennis Hogan. Another article tracks the growing movement to cancel all student debt pioneered by the Debt Collective. Our final piece ties together the exploitation of contingent faculty, undemocratic governance, and economic precarity for faculty and students—crises that predate the
pandemic, despite what administrators claim. No more crisis-talk from direct beneficiaries. The time to organize for a just university is now.
