I assume that you are mainly discussing undergrad education. In that case, the way to pressure universities to be accountable is by not going to such universities, as you imply in your first paragraph: "Their goal is to get the university more money and more students". So don't go to such universities. They will lose students. Losing undergrad students won't directly impact research funding, but it will have an impact at any public university.
- crankylinuxuser 8y agoI take it you haven't read "Meditations on Moloch". https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/30/meditations-on-moloch/ All universities do this to a varying extent, for undergraduate -and- graduate. And it doesn't make sense for a university to take such a significant risk on non-payment for failing a student. And there would be questionable ethics for a university to pass a student to get paid. From a "God's Eye View", we can do better to properly fund schools while preserving that students learn without getting cheated. But from individual students' point of view, and the universities' point of view, there are no good answers.
