Dennis Hogan is a snootie Northeasterner from the infamously snootie island of Staten Island. He says humanities departments are thought of as cost centers, whereas science departments and programs are seen as cost generators. But he argues that these kinds of technical and scientific programs do cost the university enormous amounts of money.
Featuring Dennis Hogan on the crisis in higher education. The first in a two-part series. Next up: Donna Murch and Todd Wolfson on how university workers can fight back through industrial unionism.
