Cermak, Room 700 This talk will examine the economic, physical, and sexual violence that is part of the woman experience under Capitalism and the ways in which we unite and fight these injustices. ____________________________ Whose Schools? Our Schools!: Repairing the State of Disunion in Higher Ed, a panel discussion featuring: Diana Vallera, President of P-fac (part-time faculty union), Columbia College Chicago John Casey, PhD, adjunct @ UIC & co-author of “We Are Not Contingent: An Adjunct Manifesto” Sarah Wild, former USCC (United Staff of Columbia College Chicago) member Ben Schacht, graduate student @ DePaul and CACHE (Coalition Against Corporate Higher Ed) member David Skattebo undergraduate with $56,000 debt and CACHE member Date / Time: Friday, Feb. 3, 4:30 - 6:30 p.m., 500 W. Cermak, Room 700 The Coalition Against Corporate Higher Education has framed our troubles well: “Corporate warriors and their policy-makers in state and federal government are steadily undermining higher education, turning what was once a public good into yet another means of private gain.” Administrations are looking to corporate consultants to help them navigate austerity, the majority of classrooms are staffed by the academic equivalent of day labor, and tuition skyrockets alongside student debt. This is a crisis that cannot continue. This panel will begin with a discussion of the current state of affairs in higher education and steer into a tactical planning session that will emphasize solidarity between all people affected by our education system and empower us all to make positive changes in our own schools.
