What is it about the concept of privatization that makes the brains of public officials turn to jelly?
….Last week I heard Katharine Lyall, former UW System president, push her new book, “The True Genius of America at Risk.” The subhead suggests that our public universities are headed toward “de facto privatization.” It almost sounds like she is opposed to privatization but after listening carefully and looking over her handouts, it was my conclusion that her message really is, “Hey, it’s inevitable so why fight it?”
