Abstract
The author reflects on the historical and present systemic violence of universities; highlighting the experience of graduate student exploitation within the academy and the field of communication studies in particular. The article asks what it could mean for those of us the university wasn't built for to not only survive the university but to outlive it. The author offers four starting points to the end of the violent university: centering care work, maneuvering university resources, resisting ableist notions of productivity, and stealing back time, labor, land, and energy.
