FSU Nuts & Bolts: FSU Annual Meeting, Medical Leave Vendor, Anti Racism Grants, Computer Replacement Program and MTA Benefits Webinar

2/26/2024

Dear Members,

The tips of my daffodils are appearing yet as a true new Englander, I know old man winter is not done with us yet. This week do enjoy the warm weather.  Hang out on the plaza and watch as people shimmy their way around the ‘do not enter’ fencing as they take a shortcut to the new parking lot. It is so nice to leave campus around 5PM and still see the sun.

The Point: UMB and the Corporatized University

2/1/2024

Towards the end of last semester we at The Point came across an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that captures so much of what is happening within higher ed that we decided to simply reprint it.  Although UMass Boston has (up until now) avoided some of the corporate incursions into higher education and concomitant disinvestment by the government, much of what follows hits far too close to home.  It highlights many of the dangers to avoid while suggesting alternative models for building a better system of higher education.
