[quote=Anonymous]Problem is that colleges seem to be more and more run like corporations than academic havens. Look at Harvard’s endowment. What are they amassing their billions for? They are still clinging to legacy as they say it helps bring in money but they don’t even need the money. Many colleges and universities have a ton of real estate holdings. It all seems money driven and political rather than knowledge focused. Columbia University is the largest landowner in NYC. The president of Columbia makes close to 3M a year. Just like hospitals and medicine have become all about profit, so have universities. Maybe this is inevitable under capitalism.[/quote]
