Learn More

We are a group of teachers and scholars who believe it it time to claim and rebuild our higher education as a true public good for everyone. Generous government investment in and fair governance of our system of higher education are a necessary foundation for a democratic, equitable, and just society.

Our Plan

We call on the federal government to:

  • Offer direct investment directed mostly at public institutions but also for non-elite, not-for-profit private institutions.
  • Tie federal investment to reducing student debt and making access to college education affordable and equitable.
  • Tie federal investment to supporting instruction and research, benefiting students, researchers, and faculty.
  • Tie federal investment to living wages and benefits for all university workers, including adjunct professors and campus support staff, and to a commitment by colleges to stop the endless rounds of layoffs.
