C.A.S.H. Project: Academic Capitalism and the “Politics of Success”

Greetings!

Welcome to the C.A.S.H. Project, which stands for the Capitalist Analysis of Success and Higher education. The purpose of this project is to act as a collective reflection of neoliberalist and capitalist processes that occur on college campuses. I hope for it to be used as a resource to acknowledge, analyze, and act on those processes.

With widespread access to this knowledge and additional resources, the C.A.S.H. project hopes to build a unified force to fight capitalism and seek out education that values and revolves around the needs of both students and faculty. We believe…

  1. Education is a right, not a commodity, that everyone should have access to.
  2. The state should not define a dollar amount that education is worth.
  3. Students deserve to be seen as more than consumers or investments.
  4. Faculty deserve fair wages that represent the work they put into framing education around students.

The C.A.S.H. project also aims to question how the state defines “success,” as well as how citizens are fed this definition. By resisting this definition, we, too, resist neoliberalism and capitalism in the way it functions to shape our lives around the economy and the elite.
