Privatization

Privatization connects to my topic because privatization involves a decrease in public funding. As Katharine C. Lyall and Kathleen R. Sell explain, “Public universities that used to cluster around the 50 percent public investment point a decade ago now typically have moved down toward 30 percent or less in public support…” The result is an increased reliance on academic programs, which seem to generate profit for some institutions. I will try to answer whether profit exists, and if it does whether or not it is worth it in the end.
