This feels accurate to my experience, having been in higher education for almost two decades.
The scholars actually outnumber the schemers, but the schemers are unprincipled and are willing to use coercive tactics. The scholars don't consider themselves fighters or politicians, and therefore avoid that kind of engagement. This is how the schemers took over the administrative ranks of the universities.
Yes, and it will probably lead to the demise of the university as a force in education. People are finding out that the degrees in lots of areas, including studies, are turning out to be less that worthless and only putting the students in deep, deep debt. Once they realize this completely, I will predict a rapid reduction in the population of students and potential students due to distaste for the system. Also, things are moving rapidly in the education field away from bricks-and-mortar.
