An excellent piece worth reading. @courtneyaddison.bsky.social and I have an upcoming piece covering much of the same ground, though we suggest in many ways we are not just following the footsteps of fascist USA but leading the way.
This, from OUSA's President, is very good and warrants reading:

"For decades, governments of every stripe have treated universities as businesses to be managed rather than institutions of learning and curiosity. ... Students are rebranded as customers, research, degrees and graduates as outputs."
We’ve forgotten what universities are for

Earlier today I shared Culture Machine's CFP for a collection about shitty university enterprise software, tech vendors, etc. — an editorial project that sounds positively delightful 🤗 I also enjoy thinking about the nepotism and kickbacks behind procurement 💫

Yes, the government has managed to squeeze more value out of international students *and* academics while continuing to denigrate and defund any critical scholarship.
New Zealand’s universities achieved record revenue from international tuition fees last year, even though overseas enrolments had not fully recovered from the coronavirus pandemic, Ministry of Education statistics reveal. John Ross reports
