Fopros want to be liked as well. However, when push comes to shove, they prefer to make money. In the fopro world, no one likes a school that is consistently in the red.
Fopros have taken the traditional model of education - teacher in front of class - and are trying to run it like a business.
How can we get more students before the teacher to learn the same objectives in a shorter amount of time so we can get more students in class?
Curriculums are standardized such that faculty need to spend less time preparing and researching, so they spend more time teaching or processing students.
Research is done by researchers. Since employee costs are usually the greatest cost in any business organization, it makes sense to get as much out of a faculty member as possible?
In short - fopros are concerned with meeting student needs with the smallest amount of expenditures so that more money is left over.
Which is better to concentrate on meeting student needs or on prestige?
