    For profit universities. In the states at least. Where students go into lifetime debt and their work is profited from. Occasionally they get a prize and pat on the head.

    Then they spend their lives working for companies that make massive profits off their ideas. If they’re very very lucky, some people might learn their names and what they did before they die, but that almost never happens.

      It’s worse. Public universities that by definition are not for profit. And then all the other things you mentioned.
