What American Universities Can Learn From The Cooperative Mondragon University

Davydd Greenwood, an anthropologist at Cornell, puts it this way:
 What is being done now is to collapse education into vocational training, teaching into a fee-for-service form of employment, and research only as a profit generator. The faculty are being put on term contracts and administration is now a career with big salaries and great distance from the places where value is actually being produced. The overall result is the consolidation of a two class system: elite education for economic and political elites and vocational education for the masses.
There are better ways. Mondragon is one of them.
