An article in yesterday's Dispatch hinted at the greed which has become all-pervasive in higher education, and particularly at Ohio State University. It described a $2-million make-over to OSU President Gordon Gee's Bexley home, courtesty of the university foundation.
One of the readers of that article said it best: "Higher education is a greedy, taxpayer subsidized business. It stopped being about education about 30 years ago when those who run the system realized they could make themselves filthy rich while maintaining a image of being "about education."
The reader might have added that this greed is exactly the reason Ohio State football fans are being short-changed on television coverage by Time Warner and the Big 10 poobahs.
