“University of Houston Would Become George Floyd University”
At Socialism 2025, University of Houston professor David McNally laid out a radical vision for what happens when an “insurgent social movement” seizes control of a university. His words weren’t abstract.
“Let’s assume for the sake of argument that we’re in the kind of insurgency that we saw in 2020.”
McNally’s Insurgent University – Step by Step
1. Sanctuary Campus - “First, we would fight for and win sanctuary campus… ICE would be gone. It would have no capacity to enter the campus space at all.”
2. Divestment - “We would push for and win divestment from apartheid and militarism. From climate destroying investments.”
3. Abolish Campus Police - “We would replace the campus police with democratically constituted and elected safety committees.”
4. Restore and Fund Activist Centers - “We would restore and massively resource the eliminated LGBTQ+ Center.”
5. Abolish Tuition and Grades -“We would fight to abolish tuition and grades.”
6. End Managerial Authority - “We would try to develop forms of worker self-management because we don’t need managers.”
7. Community Control - “We would open the university up… it becomes a resource of the broader community.”
8. Rename the Institution - “We will be renamed the George Floyd University… he grew up in Houston’s Third Ward… about half a mile from our campus.”
