Universities and higher learning isn’t and shouldn’t be a market. I’d argue that one of the reasons for the sad state of academia today is that too many MBA are running everything, including those things that aren’t businesses and shouldn’t be run like such. If researchers didn’t need to always chase after the next grant, a lot of the shortsightedness and lock in into specialities wouldn’t even be a problem in the first place.
It says something about how thorough neoliberalism won that few people react today when, again, it is taken for granted that everything is a market and what the market decides is right.
