Fall 2022 | Vol. 108, No. 4
The fall 2022 issue of Academe calls on faculty to become actively engaged in budget and finance issues on their campuses and in their states. Contributors to the issue explore the power of coalitional organizing to push back against austerity measures, demand transparency, and hold institutions accountable for their obligations to faculty, staff, students, and the communities beyond their campuses. Aimee Loiselle, assistant professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, and Jennifer M. Miller, associate professor of history at Dartmouth College, served as guest editors of this special issue of the magazine. They are members of Scholars for a New Deal for Higher Education. Additional articles will appear in a forthcoming online supplement to this special issue.
