Adopt the 4profit enrollment machine and the degree upsell machine but keep your prestige. It was the hustle as far back as 2005.

When I talked with elite uni presidents and administrators, they weren’t so much dismayed by what I detailed in #LowerEd as much as they were interested in HOW THEY COULD COPY THEIR SUCCESS. Masters degrees decreased regulatory risk, increased revenue, & made for pretty charts
I could have made a lot of money had I been willing to brand the right language for adopting for-profit enrollment forms, online degrees, and masters degrees for elite and selective institutions. To them, the crisis was competitiveness.
Someone on here called these students unsympathetic bourgeoise or some such. That may be true, if you think of this in isolation. But as a part of a patchwork of extractive regimes, this also links the bourgeoisie to the proletariat in ways that I thinks scares some interests.
