The Broken University
Is the university system broken?
Do we care more about making money than mending minds?
Are students interested in learning or in just finishing a program of study?
Is the mandate of the university now to just award degrees instead of contributing to the intellectual goodness of the world?
When did the university become a meme for commerce instead of a place for communion and fellowship?
How did the core covenants of the university break and can they ever be sealed back together again?

Hard to say. Universities are part of the community providing jobs and other good things. Making money in a bad economy might not be a bad thing.
That's true. I just wonder if the system is more about the bottom line than the higher mind.
