Yes, I think that the contemporary university is subject to the economy and can not be considered independent. The boundaries between university and business are shrinking more and more.
The reason we are witnessing the emergence of the university-enterprise whose profit and lucrative activities are among its objectives. At the same time, there is a proliferation of business-universities belonging to large groups of companies.
So the university's own characteristics are no longer an own exclusivity but a common feature with companies. This change can be explained by the emergence of cognitive capitalism. I think soon we will have universities listed on stock exchanges (Market).
I certainly do agree with you. Education has moved to commodification. We are not teaching human values but market values.
