Abstract
This paper offers a critical analysis of the governance structure that is common to all nonprofit institutions of higher education in the United States, whether public or private. That structure, I argue, is a key cause of what is conventionally referred to as the “corporatization” of the academy. To indicate how we might recover a form of higher education that has not fallen prey to the capitalist logic of commodification, I explore several alternative structures of governance, focusing especially on the current effort to create the United Kingdom’s first co-operative university.
