That's an unfair assessment.

Harvard et al also launder reputations, incubate reactionary movements, serve as a finishing school for the rich and powerful, stoke credentialing (eg grade inflation), and accelerate social inequity. For starters.




Just like so many organizations within government, universities have no accountability... status quo rules.


Uhh, reactionary movements are incubated in Christian right wing schools, not by Harvard professors writing yet another book about post modernism.
