It is remarkable how quickly all strata in public universities—staff, faculty, administrators, students—have grown accustomed to the saturation of university life by neoliberal rationality, metrics, and principles of governance. Faculty are used to corporately funded research centers, professorships, programs and departments and have, with a few exceptions, largely accepted the erosion of their power to govern the university.
