Our institutions of higher education face multiple crises which have come into sharper contrast during the pandemic. Austerity policies have resulting in chronic underfunding, over-reliance on contingent faculty, unmanageable student debt burdens, and a narrow focus on job training to the exclusion of the public good. All of these exacerbate inequity in our colleges among faculty and staff, and make education inaccessible to many students. Much can be done to set higher education back on the right path.

In this workshop, union leaders will share the work their unions are doing to tackle inequality in their colleges. We’ll learn about the recently launched campaign for a New Deal for Higher Education, encompassing a broad platform to address all of these crises. Join us and learn what we can do to advance a just and inclusive system of higher education for all.
