Trump’s war on universities , DEI and student activism have been well documented over the past 18 months. But his ability to do this is a result of an architecture put in place by neoliberalism and university administrators. They turned the university into a for profit corporation and transformed students into consumers. Trump has taken this model and used it to wage war on higher education. In our latest, we talk with Nolan Higdon, scholar and author of MAGAcademy: How Corporatism Paved the Way for the Hostile Takeover of Higher Ed., about how corporatism created a blueprint for Trump's hostile takeover of the university.
