TMC: What radicalized me in new ways was sitting in the room in vendor negotiations for ed-tech companies, most of them coming to us with barely a proof of concept, but if they can get a university to sign on, they became instantly profitable. [Matt: they're laundering the prestige, the education gospel.] Yet we would sit in the room as if we were in the weaker negotiating position. Wouldn't push back on boilerplate language, wouldn't negotiate for more control... We would just give it all away.

TMC: We've got a captured population. There are only two of those, BTW, students and prisoners. And frankly, the student data is richer, more diverse, [..] in ways that make it more valuable. (1:21)

TMC: I want higher ed institutions to write a Digital Bill of Rights for students' data. I think we could model for the broader public what it means to give people control of their data. Which is not a ridiculous idea, it's what they've done in the UK. We won't do it in the US because we don't have the political will to do it. But universities aren't beholden to that. (1:18)

TMC: I want institutional detox. I am (professionally) here in part because I have been deeply embedded in digital movements. I clearly think they have a right place, and a right scale. [..] And I think right now the scale is completely out of whack in our institutions. Nowhere to me is that more clear than in our complete, uncritical adoption of AI into institutions without any understanding of what it means, what the consequences are, why or how we should use it and for whom.

TMC: Public not-for-profit higher education institutions should see their institutional fate linked with unions, social movements, because those are the things that make us less necessary but more valuable. (1:14)

TMC: The trap we put ourselves in was making ourselves necessary, but unaccountable. I want the accountability back, to democracy and to communities, without the necessity. Necessity is where desperation comes from, that's where the profit motive comes from, that's where the drive comes from that creates all these worthless degrees and programs. (1:13)

TMC: The education gospel remains most powerful among the most vulnerable groups of people. It is still core to how immigrants and the children of immigrants think that they will be integrated into American citizenship. And that would be fine if we were able to offer that opportunity at affordable cost with high rewards. But increasingly, we just can't promise that sort of social mobility.
