Brother John,
The is precisely about how "rampaging capitalism"--the author calls is "neo-capitalism"--is destroying the traditional university model in Britain. The details are therein.
I mostly agree with his points. The commodified profit-obsessed university campus is a disaster. The only thing that keeps me going is my love of students. My only quibble is that the author doesn't seem to reflect on the elitism of the old model that pretty much excluded most non-white students. Or his lament on the demise of the Eurocentric classics and his lampooning of more contemporary inclusive themes misses the opportunity to link up with younger black and brown allies.
