The value of higher education (HE) is in question (Dollinger, 2018). The rigid and archaic structure of the system is outdated, and so too is the tenure process (Stromquist, 2017). Adjunct faculty are the majority (American Association of University Professors, 2018), yet their needs are not prioritized (Bickerstaff & Chavarin, 2018).

Submitted by Peter Mayo on December 3, 2023 - 18:22

Appreciation: Ronald G. Sultana (1958-2023)Like most people in my country and many beyond, especially in the education research and sociology fields, I was shocked by  Ronald G. Sultana’s sudden demise at 65. I am still reeling from the phone call I received on the morning of November 24 from a mutual friend and once collaborator of Ronald’s, informing me of his death.

State Sponsored Imposition of Ideology on American University Campuses - The Urban Lens Newsletter

Submitted by Bill Bowen on August 9, 2023 - 14:24

Urban America would be a different – and lesser – place without universities.  They provide vocational instruction and prepare young people for the workforce.  But more importantly, the liberal tradition in higher education increases our capacity to understand and reshape the world far beyond the university.  Yet liberal education is under siege throughout a range of states in the United States.

There is an evident need for universities to redefine their priorities, rethinking their social function in the light of the demands of the 21st century. It has become imperative to develop university policies that view these institutions as true drivers of transformation in the political, economic, social, environmental and cultural spheres.
