My experience with college was that it was a very "money centric place", with the high rates of tuition, over paid bureaucrats, yet course instruction outsourced to grad students "working" for low hourly wages. Further, there was an "unacknowledged (though implicitly present) assumption" that faculty were in the business of bringing in grant money, and he who didn't wouldn't last long. Then in the last few years we came to learn that much of the "academics" that gets published today is completely bogus. What subject are those "researchers" interested in?
