"The crisis in higher education...has many...parts. These include the defunding of public education, student debt, tuition limits, vicious mismanagement, and the financialization of everything. But by [blaming] one exogenous cause, Grawe allows administrators to frame the whole landscape as a technical problem with only technical fixes... [H]is “solutions” operate entirely within official and existing institutional channels."
