Why We Should Fear University Summary

In the article “Why We Should Fear University, Inc. Against the corporate taming of the American college.” Fredrik deBOER addresses that corporatism has infected the soul of the American universities. deBOER begins the article by stating that the university he attended to get his Ph D. in, Purdue University, needs more garden space because it is the last wild place left in the campus. He uses the example that reads “Universities operate, every day, more and more like corporations” (par 4) to suggest that you need to have more people teaching and less people working on controlling the campus. deBOER references that even the nice polished buildings represent how it’s been groomed, how it’s not as cultured as it used to be.
