This week I welcome Brian Bailie back to the program to talk about a new report, "COVID-19 and Academic Shared Governance," by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). The report finds that college and university administrations responses to the COVID-19 pandemic disregarded the norms of academic governances and "were affected largely by administrative fiat, with little or no consultation with the faculty ever where austerity and emergency measures had dramatic effects on the curriculum, an area traditionally considered the faculty's primary responsibility." We'll may also dip into a recent report by the Roosevelt Network, “The Financialization of Higher Education at the University of Cincinnati,” as well as the broader attack on public higher ed.
Brian Bailie is an Associate Professor of rhetoric and composition at the University of Cincinnati’s Blue Ash College. Brian’s latest articles include, “Are We an Academic Journal? Editing as Ethical Practice for Change,” co-authored with Steve Parks, in Reflections: A Journal of Community Engaged Writing and Rhetoric, and the ever-timely piece in Present Tense: A Journal of Rhetoric in Society, , “So, Richard Spencer is Coming to Your Campus. How He was Allowed on, and How You Can Confront Him.”
