Real universities are, IMHO, not much better than the fake ones Obama’s trying to shut down. So if you must stay in higher ed, accept that you are a mere cog being used to make a profit. Look out for yourself first, because nobody cares about keeping you around. And maybe do something subversive. For example, I started telling my students outright how much research didn’t benefit them — actually they’d already figured this out, so I encouraged them to tell their parents, saying things like “why should anyone donate to already-wealthy institutions who can’t manage their money and retain their actual ‘talent’?”
