    Good post, Thai.

    from the comments section . . .

    Harvard and any other school reflects the morality and ethics of society. The days of low compensated faculty are long gone. In todays schools many professors are highly or at least reasonably highly paid. Schools themselves are run like businesses making the bottom line more important than quality, ethics, student education and community service.


    President Faust is first and foremost in charge of a large business. In society today, business is by and large outside the law, has huge leverage over the country leaders and the move from government to business and back is seamless.


    Faust and Harvard are the rule and not an abberation.
    President Faust . . . you can't make this shit up.

    Harvard - a model for academic expose and satire. Who would a thunk it . . .

          “He could have played this game at 50,000 feet,” says Anne Mulcahy, a former chief executive of Xerox and a current Post board member. Maybe. The view from ground level was ugly. By the end of 2010, more than 80 percent of the revenue at Kaplan’s biggest division—and nearly a third of the Post Company’s overall revenue—was from government-backed student loans. According to the Department of Education, two-thirds of Kaplan’s students drop out before graduating.
