Absolutely! At my last teaching job: almost all undergrads worked at least one job (sometimes more), many had caretaking duties, a high percentage of first gen students. I related to them well-- I worked 35 hours a week throughout my undergrad degree (a shift manager in a cafe then as a secretary).

Available for preorder, Aesthetic Impropriety: Property Law and Postcolonial Style is out from Fordham on 7/1/25.
I analyze property law expansively, across Nigeria, India, South Africa, and the English Atlantic, to argue that both legal and literary innovations are undoing law's colonial legacies.

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities
ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x
demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.
University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

For almost 2 weeks, Badar Khan Suri was kept in a room without a bed & with TV blaring 21 hrs/day.
He was given used underwear & red uniform "usually reserved" for "high security" detainees.
Not allowed to spend more than 2 hrs/week outside dorm.
His little son has stopped talking in his absence.

Disappearing people to avoid the jurisdiction of the court in which they were taken by the state is authoritarian to the core and runs afoul of the spirit of Article III, the Due Process Clause, and the principles that emerged from the Glorious Revolution and the American Revolution.
