Free Education! The Free University of New York, Alternate U, and the Liberation of Education

In an era where higher education does little to balance its inherent good with economic inacessibility, devastating indebtedness, and discrimination in admissions and in curricula, The Free University of New York (FUNY) serves as a historical examples of how things can be done differently. This account is a historical examination of the radical alternative education project in the 1960s, and draws parallels to other similar projects of the time, that questions how and why the academic context exists, and how it can be shaped to leave to the collective liberation of students everywhere.
