International appeal for the protection of academic independence - Steve Keen - Debt Deflation

No, no I won't sign a petition for academic independence.
Reasons:
All employees are just that; employees. Professors are no different than janitors. Employees don't have a say.
The universities exist to train employees. On occasion a true entrepreneur turns up, but the intent is highly trained employees.
Big bad corporations are the leading sponsors with the greatest need for highly trained employees.
One of the primary sources for university research dollars is corporations. And then there are government dollars obtained by taxation. Where do you reckon that tax money comes from? Employees that are consumers.

Everything on this planet that prevents us from eating one another is based upon efficient "production and commerce". The university system exists because "production and commerce" made it so. And continues to exist only at "production and commerce's" pleasure.
Psst. This goes for government and all the other institutions too.
So ya just might not wanna get all uppity-like.

Beginning of the headline :A group of Swiss academics have recently launched a petition to call for the protection of academic independence. Personally I think it’s gone well past the point where protection is the apposite term, given the extent to which the function of Universities has been eroded over the last 4 decades. But we have to start somewhere. Please read their petition below and sign at the relevant web page for yourself: (English) http://zuercher-appell.ch/index_en.php (Deutsch) http://zuercher-appell.ch/inde... Read More
