Higher Education

This month’s Higher Education newsletter exposes the autocratic administrators managing—and destroying—higher education. An excerpt from Peter Fleming’s searing account in Dark Academia: How Universities Die examines how the authoritarian turn undermines university missions, intellectual freedom, and mental health. Our next piece features the hard work of Higher Ed Labor United, an organization of academic workers fighting back against top-down management. We also link to an important article analyzing the corporatization of the university and revealing exactly who benefits: administrators. Finally, we feature an initiative calling for projects exploring civic engagement and social justice by the Mellon Foundation.
