Manship School to host screening of 鈥淪tarving the Beast鈥� on April 18

04/18/2016

On Monday, April 18, the Manship School will host a screening of 鈥淪tarving the Beast.鈥� The screening will take place in the Holliday Forum at 6 p.m.

 

鈥淪tarving the Beast鈥� examines the on-going power struggle on college campuses across the nation as political and market-oriented forces push to disrupt and reform America鈥檚 public universities. The film documents a philosophical shift that seeks to reframe public higher education as a 鈥榲alue proposition鈥� to be borne by the beneficiary of a college degree rather than as a 鈥榩ublic good鈥� for society. Financial winners and losers emerge in a struggle poised to profoundly change public higher education. The film focuses on dramas playing out at the University of Wisconsin, University of Virginia, University of North Carolina, 海角社区, University of Texas and Texas A&M.

 

Democratic political strategist James Carville and the film鈥檚 writer and director Steve Mims, will make introductory remarks before the film鈥檚 screening and a discussion will be lead afterwards by Mims and the film鈥檚 producer Bill Banowsky.

 

This film screening is free and open to the public.
