Abstract:
"What's for sale and what isn't?" The author has no doubt that we will see more corporate involvement in teaching and research. Universities will increasingly sell or rent to corporations those activities to which a dollar value can be attached that is agreeable to both sides. The financial pressures on universities and the value of what they do, as perceived by widening sectors of business make that close to inevitable. The author, however, is dubious that many universities can be trusted to know the difference between what is marginal and what is central.
