Thank you for posting this since it brings a lot pieces together for me. Most students blame the rising costs of university on greedy administrations, but it always seemed that the rising cost was just a reaction to a larger problem. I never saw it as a "corporatization" but it makes a lot of sense now and explains everything that I've been seeing.

Universities are turning into all-inclusive resorts, and the bill reflects that change as well.
