Risa Lieberwitz on the University's Role in Supporting the Public Good

Risa Lieberwitz on the University's Role in Supporting the Public Good: On October 4th, 2023, a group of Cornell faculty condemned the current proposal for falling grievously short of Cornell's obligations [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeuNmjC9m8eCWendBYdHZMPdCby4cK8FjjUF7C9CterIGd5ag/viewform] to its constituencies and communities, and the broader public interest. Risa Lieberwitz [https://www.ilr.cornell.edu/people/risa-lieberwitz], a professor at Cornell's Industrial and Labor Relations School, places the MakeCornellPay campaign [https://www.makecornellpay.org/platform] in the broader context of her analysis of the role of higher education in a democratic society, and how it has been weakened by the privatization of the university. Professor Lieberwitz also discusses the role of academic freedom in permitting faculty and student organizing around issues like MakeCornellPay and her work with the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) [https://www.aaup.org/] in defending academic freedom.
