As Janet Napolitano and Jerry Brown battle over tuition increases
and state funding for the UC, faculty face eroding compensation and
increasing privatization of the university. Is shared governance still
meaningful amidst the race for private donations and bond-funded
construction? Where is the common ground between tenure and non-tenure
system faculty? How does the crisis of student loan debt change our
relationship with our students? Join representatives of the Academic
Senate, the Council of UC Faculty Associations, and the UC-AFT
(lecturers' union) for a open forum on faculty and the future of public
higher education in the age of austerity.
