Week 4

On the reading article of this week, I found out an interesting idea from Why We Should Fear University, Inc. Ferdrik deBoer, the author, mentions that our universities operate increasingly like corporations nowadays, in which, students and professors act like customers and servants. In addition, he also mentions that Colleges today often employ more senior administrators than professors. On the other hand, this action just part of cooperation’s daily running. University is no longer a place of education.

As we all know, the expense of university has been increasing for a long time. Also, schools provide student loans for the students who cannot afford the expense. However, the purpose of the student loans has changed. A lot of school gain high rate of profits from students loans. Who still remember that universities are the place for further education? Should we definite “universities” as the companies?
