ABSTRACT
This chapter describes brighter future for higher education which focuses on two important things. First, we have lost sight of vital historical and cultural truth about labor: This is class war and our enemy is not ever going to save us or speak up for our rights. The second principle we have lost sight of is there are far more of us than there are of them. American higher education is under siege. In Texas, Governor Rick Perry has introduced plan to stop funding for higher education in the traditional way and replace it with voucher system that allows each student here to fore defined as consumer to choose which professors to support with their enrollment. William Deresiewicz, writing in The Nation, puts the crisis in higher education this way: What we have in academia, in other words, is a microcosm of the American economy as a whole: a self-enriching aristocracy, swelling and increasingly immiserated proletariat, and shrinking middle class.
