University, Inc.

The Corporate Corruption of Higher Education

Jennifer Washburn

Commercial forces are transforming higher education, as corporations fund universities with strings attached. This book explores whether they should be allowed to dictate research or own discoveries. As funding shifts from humanities to more profitable research labs, universities are losing their traditional role as sources of education and wisdom. This growing influence of corporations over universities compromises the future of American education and employment.

I've written previously about how patents are corrupting academia And I encourage everyone to read University Inc. by Jennifer Washburn - a fantastic book that goes into these and other issues in detail.      source
