> A SPECTER IS HAUNTING ACADEMIA—the specter of something that has yet 
> to definitively claim a name for itself, but is
> rising nonetheless. So many of us have been buried underground, so 
> many breathing through small breaks in the soil that
> covers our pristine university campuses where guided tours are given 
> and frisbees are thrown, where deep-pocketed donors
> stroll nostalgically and future debtors gaze longingly. Looking up, we 
> may, each of us, feel like the forgotten seeds moldering
> beneath these hallowed grounds—but we are, all of us, the tectonic 
> plate holding them together. When we move, the world
> above will feel it.
>
> Academia is in the midst of an acute, unsustainable crisis. For those 
> working in the higher-education industry, and increasingly
> for those outside of it, it has become impossible to ignore.
>
> To read the rest of this manifesto, or browse the archive of a 
> counter-history & memory that is hidden from the mainstream framework
> that is hegemonic, visit the *York U Contract Faculty Weblog* here
