In this episode, Alan and Jem  discuss the crisis in the university sector, mainly in the UK, but in a transatlantic context. We talk about the history of the universities since the mid 20th century and how they have ended up in the current situation, with tens of thousands of staff having been made redundant since 2020 despite astronomical levels of student debt.
