The most contested terrain, where there is both great press for, and ... much resistance against, greater privatization, is in the public research universities and the pubic comprehensive colleges and universities. In these institutions, the push for greater privatization generally reflects a demand from state governors and legislators for greater "accountability," higher academic standards, sharpened academic focus (read, "fewer small courses and programs"), a faculty more responsive to the undergraduate and less to his or her own research (unless it is bringing in large research grants), and more decisive decision making and less of what is perceived as "indulgence" of the faculty.
