Quote of the day

Quote of the day:
"Yet the distressing truth is that the marketization of the academy is eroding its historic commitment to the public interest. It is undermining the fabulously productive gift culture of the university and precipitating a greater array of conflicts of interest and ethical misbehaviour. One cannot blame a wary public for wondering if universities are still reliable, trustworthy institutions or a new breed of corporate shrill." David Bollier, Silent Theft (Routledge 2002), p136.
