I would like to point to Dijkstra's excellent article (The strengths of academic enterprise) -- http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD11xx/EW...

The OP talks about a bunch of problems in academia, may of which stem from an attempt to run universities like corporations. In his article, Edsger Dijkstra explains why that's not a good idea.

PS: If you'd like to discuss this, I just submitted this article at https://qht.co/item?id=6358342
