Wouldn't this suggest that Universities should be not only funded by other corporations, but run more like a business? Perhaps this is more applicable here in Canada, where universities are highly subsidized. But my point is that technical schools (private schools offering MCSE, CCIE, business related courses) are successful in keeping professors (well, trainers really) because they can afford to offer competitive salaries.
If Universities are run more like a business, it would seem to follow that the most successful university would become the most wealthy as well, attracting the best profs, etc. Yes tuition to that u might be more expensive, but as a business competing for students, the school would have ot offer competitive rates!! The no. 2 school would be trying to attract better profs, charging a more competitive tuition, etc. Get it? I think the major problem in general is the fact that governments are so heavily involved in economics. MHO
