Research Blog #3: How might privatization connect to your topic?

The topic of privatization directly affects higher education in many ways.  The reading "Higher Education and Privatization" states, "For higher education, the term includes a range of activities taking place on campus.  Generally, in the name of financial necessity, colleges and universities cut services, undertake aggressive outsourcing, reduce the number of regular tenured teaching slots, and increase tuition."  This quote is telling us that privatization has been causing some negative consequences to students and universities like more adjunct professors and increasing the amount of tuition for students pushing them into more debt.
