Two weeks ago, we began a conversation about troubles that The Coalition Against Corporate Higher Education (CACHE) has framed well: "Corporate warriors and their policy-makers in state and federal government are steadily undermining higher education, turning what was once a public good into yet another means of private gain." Administrations are looking to corporate consultants to help them navigate austerity, the majority of classrooms are staffed by the academic equivalent of day labor, and tuition skyrockets alongside student debt. This is a crisis that cannot continue. This panel will continue the discussion and tactical planning session to emphasize solidarity between all people affected by the corporatization of our education system and empower us all to make positive changes in our own schools.
