"[S]o frantic is the education industry for raw material (students), institutions are not only lowering standards (requiring only 'a pulse in one hand, a check in the other'), they are discounting tuitions and advertising sushi and waffle bars in the students unions and prime cable service in the dorms where, [author Anne] Matthews says, some students hibernate for days 'eating red licorice and channel surfing.' Some institutions send bounty hunters abroad in search of wealthy foreigners."
