Great interview with Wendy Brown. The real threat to academia isn't wokeness but "adjunctification, corporatization and then the rankings-and-rating systems of programs and faculties and individual academics." nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

Ph.D. + $0 for classroom teaching? @anemonanyc reports the UCLA adjunct job posting scandal.

@TenureForCGood tried persuading @usnews to factor adjuncting into rankings. Nope.

That’s our statement- we hope others will write similar ones!
Tenure for Common Good issues a statement advocating cancelling student debt, which particularly afflicts adjunct and contingent faculty. docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Wow, this is so bad. Columbia invented some numbers outright & excluded transfer students and NTT faculty to get other stats.
Devastating expose by Columbia mathematician Michael Thaddeus of how Columbia games the USNWR rankings through, ahem, "distinctive bookkeeping techniques." math.columbia.edu/~thaddeus/…

Excellent explanation of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of the new budget proposal. "This proposal is a major blow to adjunctification, and it will help many of the roughly three million people in this country who are either doctoral students or part-time faculty members."

1. 🧵 Tomorrow, the @BORUSG is expected to vote to end tenure for Georgia's public universities. The AAUP has warned that this move will destroy protections for academic freedom, which is indispensable for the quality of teaching and research in higher education.

Our members @igavigan Ian Gavigan and @MittelstadtJen Jennifer Mittelstadt writing in @DissentMag Dissent magazine. To remake higher education as a public good, we'll have to fight and win at the national level.

I can’t even express how excited I am that @AOC has tweeted & praised this worker coops piece from @econhardship this affirmative piece on worker power has been my dream for over a year, now executed by six great photographers & me and Mark Murrmann @MotherJones @soljourno
I’ll start:
Here’s a great story about the rise in worker coops across the US during the pandemic and the increased popularity of workplace democracy: motherjones.com/politics/202…

It remains astonishing to us that while academia is being eviscerated, this writer feels she can best use NYT’s big platform to…talk about research being too specialized? Really?
Wednesday is the national day of action!
Ditto. The Senate reconvenes in Wednesday, when @aaup has called for national day of action. When you call your senator, be sure to emphasize the 75% tenure or tenure track at all levels issue, which means many more jobs & better working conditions for all newdealforhighered.org
Call Senator Patty Murray! This legislation could change everything.
Support legislation that would require institutions to reach a 75% tenure-track workforce to receive federal funding. Read the MLA statement and contact Senator Patty Murray, chair of the drafting committee, to advocate for this law. mla.org/About-Us/Governance/…
