    The purpose of universities is to educate not to make money. The money is a secondary reward for doing the primary thing. If the money supercedes the education then the core is rotten.

    Universities selling unearned degrees for money are cannibalising their reputation in the process and as a result are damaging the reputation of the industry as a whole. This needs to stop.

      Probably before they got greedy and decided pursuing overseas students for the higher fees while lowering standards was a long term sustainable business choice.
