Long Island University's Labor Day Lockout
After a contract fight with the faculty union, Long Island University's administration told professors not to come to work this fall and replaced them with an entirely new staff. Scott Jaschik, editor and co-founder of Inside Higher Ed, and Melissa Antinori, assistant professor of English and a member of the LIUFF negotiating team, explain what led to the drastic move by the administration.
Current LIU students and alumni call in with their reflections.
