The authors explore criticism of the corporatization of the academy as offered by graduate employee organizers. They suggest that graduate employee unionization may serve as both a symbol of and a challenge to corporatization. Methodologically, the authors draw from qualitative case studies conducted at graduate employee unions located at three public universities and one private university.
