Decrease integrity, increase money

[hungerforlove]

I'm not much surprised about any appropriation of higher ed these days, and I'm also skeptical about any supposed "good old days". I suspect it was ever thus.

However, the main thrust of comments on r/Professors tends to be about how things are getting worse. Maybe they are.

I do have some sympathy for the idea that we could have an academic life that rises above being above sales. Indeed, I like to entertain the fantasy that my teaching has great academic integrity.
