Key Terms and Quotes:

Outsourcing
"In its narrowest meaning, privatization suggests a movement away from public financing and toward private financing. For higher education, the term includes a range of activities taking place on campus. Generally, in the name of financial necessity, colleges and universities cut services, undertake aggressive outsourcing, reduce the number of regular tenured teaching slots, and increase tuition."
This material helps prove that Rutgers University uses a privatized system in order to make up for the money that was lost to budget cuts. As a result, some of the techniques used to make a profit are done by "screwing" students, faculty, staff, and alumni and ultimately can be considered part of the "RU Screw."
