ABSTRACT

In general, the 'business model' has to do with schooling the children in ways that are amenable to the existing business climate. This chapter addresses three areas of concern: architecture, language, and business partnerships and their political agenda. It explains their character and demonstrates how aspects of a business mentality collide with the academic principles with which they claim to be in harmony and support. Businesses are expected to deliver quality goods and services, however, they are engaged in those businesses to generate profit, not to ensure that their customers are of sound mind and body, safe and happy. If the building looks like the corporate headquarters of some business, then the sense that business goes on in that building would not be misplaced. The chapter explains much of the research done by faculty in universities is done at the behest of and through corporate grants.
