"A brave and timely volume, Betrayal U reveals and deconstructs the institutional betrayal that so many students, faculty, and staff experience in higher education. From poems to first-person testimonials to analytic essays, this comprehensive edited volume is rich with contributor insight and intellectual honesty. The editors and contributors document and uncover the ways that institutional betrayal reinforces inequality and historical marginalization. Compelling in detail and scope, Betrayal U should be required reading for higher education leaders."—Jennifer Joy Freyd, co-author of Blind to Betrayal: Why We Fool Ourselves We Aren't Being Fooled
“There is a beautiful transparency in the essays in this book. Resistance and resilience have emerged earlier but never with such tour de force, direct examples without euphemisms about what really occurs in the high echelons of educational institutions.”—Gabriella Gutiérrez y Muhs, author of Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections of Race and Class for Women in Academia
“The narratives in this collection are beautiful and brutally honest testimonies, some gut-wrenching and familiar, with common themes that echo the persistent systemic challenges in higher education.”—Michelle M. Camacho, co-author of The Borderlands of Education: Latinas in Engineering
