The first book to address campus crises that's by and for faculty, staff, and students—the true heart of higher ed and the people who make it work.

Higher education is in crisis—and there's no shortage of books by campus leaders about how to fix it. This volume is by and for the rest of us—the faculty, staff, and students who comprise the lion's share of campus populations. It is our values, livelihoods, and prospects for success that are most threatened by these crises—and, often, by top-level administrators' responses to them. The volume brings together more than forty contributors from colleges and universities across the United States and beyond. Essays address a range of aspects of the current polycrisis, including declarations of financial exigency, program closures and faculty layoffs, campus closures, political interference, and outbreaks of violence. Authors draw on their own experiences—and those of their colleagues and students—to share what worked, what didn't, and what they learned along the way. If crisis hasn't come to your campus yet, don't worry, it will. When it does, this book will help.

Reviews for The Campus Crisis Toolkit: Strategies and Solidarity for the Rest of Us

""An inside, blow-by-blow look at the most important unraveling of a public university in this decade—and so much more. Compelling, fascinating, and heartening."" — Christopher Newfield, author of The Great Mistake: How We Wrecked Public Universities and How We Can Fix Them ""If your college or university is in crisis—and what institution isn't right now?—I highly recommend The Campus Crisis Toolkit. Lisa M. Di Bartolomeo and Kevin M. Gannon have put together an indispensable set of case studies and action plans to help arm us all for this current, deadly assault on higher education."" — Cathy N. Davidson, author of The New Education: How to Revolutionize the University to Prepare Students for a World in Flux and (with Christina Katopodis) The New College Classroom
