Crony College Capitalism, Chicago-Style

By Gary Jason

There is (and has been for quite a while) a move afoot to cronyize colleges -- that is, reward the key segments of the college industry that vote and contribute money the "right" way (which is actually the left or politically correct way!), and punish those whom the cronies of the administration in power wish to punish -- most especially, for-profit colleges.


This also occurs at the state level, of course.  A choice example of this is in fact Illinois, the state that spawned our current corrupt neo-socialist regime.  Two reports, both from Inside Higher Ed, highlight the problem, and a third piece (from the WSJ) elaborates some of its consequences.
