Universities in the USA and UK are now just corporate businesses.

I worked for several decades at the University of Bath. The Vice Chancellor (Glynis Breakwell) has just been booted out after being accused of bad governance. She was being paid £450,000 per year (highest paid VC in the UK) and sat on the remuneration committee that decided her salary.

The University once operated on the basis of providing an education that was for the benefit of society as a whole. Gradually it has become a business that operates on the basis of conducting research that draws in the largest possible grants - many of which come from private business.

What was once a relatively democratic organisation has become a tyrannical autocracy.
