Revolutions have begun following the occupation of resistant cities by armed forces, an imperial power’s defeat in war, the attempted curtailment of political rights or representative institutions, widespread recognition of the corruption or moral turpitude of a ruler, and attempted coups.

It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.

U.S. military removes words 'history,' 'respect,' 'dignity' from digital presence as part of DEI review
The Department of Defense issued a Digital Content Refresh document to comply with DEI removal from the armed services. TPR obtained a document laying out the guidance of what to remove.
