Rethinking Academic Capitalism: The Crisis of US Universities and the Global Future of Higher Education

|Exploring Academic Capitalism|

Universities in the US have long been the intellectual hub for researchers around the world and at the forefront of diversity and inclusion efforts. But they are under pressure from their own government, with threats to cut federal funding and halt the influx of international students.
