Yes, and if academia was a fantasy land where everyone worked with the proper scientific process as a goal and no one needed more grant funding this would be great. I've gotten a lot of downvotes, and I'm not really sure why. This isn't my opinion of how things should be, it's based on what I observed in university. I knew a guy who tried the suing the university for messing up his graduate education thing -- life did not turn out well for him. The highest paid state employees are college football coaches, because they make the most money. Funds that used to help professors are pouring into middle management and image consultants. Modern universities are run with all of the techniques and moral flexibility of multinational corporations, and no amount of downvotes will change that.
