This should be read alongside the recent (extortionist) memo attempting to force universities to bow to Trump in hiring, curriculum, etc. What the regime is attempting to do to higher ed is illegitimate and leaders should say so.

Thinking about Fritz Kaegi's election loss today as another round of property taxes is due in Cook County. I looked back on this piece I wrote for @placesjournal.bsky.social in 2018. Historian @tracylsteffes.bsky.social already told us all this was gonna happen. placesjournal.org/article/chic...

This is a vital intervention by @arstechnica.com. We must fight. Fight not just to protect universities as places of learning for all. Fight not just to save our own jobs. But fight for the guiding role of knowledge and reason itself. Let us not go gently into that dark night. tinyurl.com/33v3bvc5

Resist, eggheads! Universities are not as weak as they have chosen to be.
Opinion: It’s time for public resistance.

So excited to get Matt Kelly's (mgardnerkelly.bsky.social) excellent new book, Dividing the Public. Anyone interested in school finance, history of education, or education inequality should check it out. It's also really important for urban and metropolitan inequality, past and present.
