Universities aren't learning institutions anymore, they are businesses. They are not run by academics, but by managers who in the face of criticism spew "hooray statements" about mental-health frameworks instead of improving conditions. They no longer have students, but customers.
And customers, if they don't get what they paid for, complain.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoI have this opinion for any private school, be it in Australia, USA or anywhere else. In Europe, anyone who studied private school of any sort is considered as somebody who has bought his degree, but ultimately knows nothing. CVs with private schools degrees are going into a bin automatically. Only reason why private universities exists in Europe is when your employee (usually government) really demands a Bc. or Ing/Mgr in front of your name from bureaucratic reasons. Sometimes it is better to have high school diploma from public school, than having university degree from private school.

So they have significant motivation to make that as high as they can get away with. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2020/03/02/are-americas-rising-high-school-graduation-rates-real-or-just-an-accountability-fueled-mirage/ https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2020/...
