Starving the Beast

The Battle to Disrupt and Reform America's Public Universities

As college tuition skyrockets and student debt explodes, a powerful new documentary reveals a nationwide fight for control of the heart, soul and finances of America's public universities.

STARVING THE BEAST tells the story of a potent one-two punch roiling public higher education right now: 35 years of systematic defunding and a well financed market oriented reform effort. It's the story of a little known and misunderstood ideological fight, the outcome of which will change the future of public higher education.
