The university, as a core institution of democratic society, is
increasingly threatened by the intrusion of big business.
Corporations are working their way into academe in subtle and
obvious ways: granting of exclusive concessions rights on campus to
a softdrink manufacturer; use of a major portion of the resources,
faculty, and research efforts of university departments by a
particular company in exchange for modest funding; university
administrators whose salaries are often doubled for service on the
boards of important corporate contributors. Compounding the problem
is the growing scarcity of public funding, which makes universities
vulnerable to the lure of big money from pharmaceutical and
biotechnology firms, computer giants, and wealthy private donors.
