According to Barber's article “This commercialization and privatization, a distortion of the educational mission and its content, goes to the very heart of our schools. Most colleges and universities are now participants and, in some ways, beneficiaries” (Barber, 415). My assessment of the article shows that universities and colleges are seeking to squeeze more out of their budgets through commercial activities. However, this type of activities would strengthen the financial income of universities and colleges, but on the other hand, it would disrupt the educational level of the student and waste his time. Meanwhile, the economic divide in the United States is not a fear based on what Motioned says: "the gap between the middle class and the poor and between the rich is greater than it has ever been . “nearly 33 million Americans across the country lived in relentless poverty” (Matisios 476). This statement shows that the process of commercialization within universities or colleges and in recent economic circumstances can bother the majority of students who only care about how they can pay the tuition fees of their courses and all these unrelated advertisements at their classes.
