The Bluestocking Week 2015 theme is “Storylines”. In support of Bluestocking Week and the NTEU ‘Defend Our Universities’ higher education campaign, NTEU Newcastle Branch and NUPSA are holding a joint staff and student free film screening of the 2014 documentary IVORY TOWER.
IVORY TOWER gives Australia the chance to see what damage US-style deregulation will do to our higher education system.
From the halls of Harvard, to public colleges in financial crisis, to Silicon Valley, filmmaker Andrew Rossi assembles an urgent portrait of a great American institution at the breaking point.
In the US the cost of higher education has increased astronomically and has resulted in a burgeoning $1.2 trillion student debt crisis. IVORY TOWER examines the flaws and inequality that come with the corporatisation of the US higher education system and highlights the threats to quality and the value of university education.
Christopher Pyne has lauded the American higher education model and said “We have much to learn about universities competing for students and focusing on our students,” and “Not least, we have much to learn about this from our friends in the United States.”
Filmmaker Bio: Andrew Rossi returns to the Sundance Film Festival following his last film, Page One: Inside the New York Times, about the crisis in the newspaper industry. Distributed by Participant Media and Magnolia Pictures, Page One was nominated for two news and documentary Emmy Awards as well as receiving various critics' awards. Rossi is also the director of Le Cirque: A Table in Heaven, which screened on HBO, and was an associate producer on Jehane Noujaim's Control Room. A SPECIAL FREE SCREENINGCOURTESY OF THE NTEU
