Starving the Beast

Start Date

Starving the Beast, a documentary film that examines the power struggle on college campuses, such as UVA, Wisconsin, UNC and LSU, is showing at Violet Crown Cinemas on Fri, Sept. 30 at 7 PM. The film documents a philosophical shift that seeks to reframe public higher education as a value proposition to be borne by the beneficiary of a college degree rather than as a public good for society. The film has garnered praise from both academic journals and film critics including the New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
