Opinion | Why Close Bucknell University Press?

Erosions of shared governance, narrow definitions of β€œstudent-centeredness” and a broader abandonment of a liberal arts ethos all lie behind the closure announcement. https://bit.ly/44uIMlF

Why Close Bucknell University Press? (opinion) Erosions of shared governance, narrow definitions of β€œstudent-centeredness” and a broader abandonment of a liberal arts ethos all lie behind the closure announcement. In an Aug. 14 email, Bucknell University provost Wendy Sternberg notified the university community that Bucknell University Press would cease to exist at the end of the academic year. Without consulting BUP’s faculty editorial board, which oversees the press and falls under the auspices of the provost’s office, or Bucknell’s faculty or staff at large, the decision was rendered a fait accompli that blindsided the local Bucknell community as well as past, present and prospective BUP authors, editors and contributors.

"Though the prospective closure of the press may appear a blip on the radar of a fast-changing landscape of higher education, it is yet another warning bell signaling erosions of shared governance on campuses nationwide," writes Chow, citing the @aaup.org Redbook.

"The decision to close a university press has wide-ranging implications for not only the home institution & its reputation within the academic community but for the pursuit of intellectualism & critical inquiry in academia and beyond," writes Jeremy Chow @insidehighered.com.

The Anti-Trans Playbook | Paisley Currah The current crusade against trans people imperils not just their rights but the survival of the legal doctrine built to protect all women from discrimination.

NYU Press author @paisleycurrah.com examines the wave of legislation redefining "sex" across the country and what it means for transgender people and women's rights more broadly.

His new piece in @nybooks.com traces how these laws imperil legal protections built over decades:
