Emeritus Frank Fear

Professors Frank Fear, Claire Polster, and Rubén Martinez discuss the influence of neoliberalism on higher education, including the quantification of education and the concept of students as customers. They explore topics such as the corporatization of universities, the impact of metrics and numbers-driven evaluation systems, and the challenges faced by faculty members. They also highlight the importance of understanding history to bring about change and the potential for academics to create positive change within the system.
