"In reality, closing the press will cut relatively little from the university’s overall budget. The press has two full-time employees and an annual budget of roughly $300,000" For context, Bucknell University reports its annual operating expenses as $288 million. Make it make sense.

The closing of Bucknell University Press is a tremendous loss for academic publishing in general and 18th-century studies in particular. Universities have abandoned the academic mission. We’re the generation that will have to reinvent knowledge-work from the institutional ruins.

Bucknell University is shutting down our university press. Huge disappointment and big blow to 18th century studies and Latin American studies, two signature strengths of BU Press.
