Over at the Roosevelt Institute, @lookheron.bsky.social has a new report on The Neoliberalization of Higher Education.
The Neoliberalization of Higher Education: Changes in State Funding and Governance Throughout the 20th Century - Roosevelt Institute
In a new analysis, author Luke Herrine explores the shifting landscape of governance in public higher education. With the rise of neoliberal reforms, institutions are deprioritizing long-term planning, equity, and broad access due to funding models that prioritize short-term outcomes. Governance structures for higher education shape everything from enrollment demographics to course materials. When right-wing forces erode these structures, they don’t just cut budgets—they rewrite the rules of academic freedom and public accountability.
