    To be fair academics are innately detoothed of power because of their class position

      We shouldn't forget that a lot of the real work in Universities isn't done just by the tenured professors. Sure, they are the ones that set the overall class position of the university's teachings and the direction of research (and get all the glory), but the actual ground work of propagating that ideology to the student body and out to the world is through exploited graduate students and forever-associate professorships, who are only usually boosted to tenure if they are willing to continue the work and ideology of the currently tenured. Which is why organizing university labor is definitely something that should be a goal for any movement looking to capture an ideological foothold
