In the article "Why We Should Fear University, Inc. Against the corporate taming of the American college” by Fredrik DeBoer, the author mentions that the university has commercialized and that students treated as guests and teachers treated as workers. This is terrible because American universities have moved away from the university, and they operate like a corporation. For example, Ivy League schools always give priority to international students because they can pay expensive tuition. On the other hand, these international students want to get a diploma from the American Ivy League University. They don't care about expensive tuition, which is an incredibly massive amount of their annual expenses. At the same time, it is devastating to operate a university as a company, which means that the quality of students is no longer the primary. The university pursues the number of students for their own profits.
Question: How do the top executives of the university make a profit?
