       Institutions, academics and students are being ill-served by a failing marketized model of higher education: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/aug/07/the-guardian-view-on-englands-universities-a-summer-of-campus-discontent The US methods of doing this are different in detail but they have had similar consequences. To treat education as a business for which people should pay based on the profit they hope to get from it is effectively to deny the value of an educated populace — which means to deny the value of democracy.
