So we've got the departure of academics who care passionately about the pursuit of truth in their discipline, but refuse to play musical chairs over dwindling, casualized positions. Then we've got corporations funding academic positions for PR purposes. Placing industry-friendly experts inside respected institutions, and getting the names of those institutions on research designed to support their PR claims.

The combination of the two leads to a horrifying distortion of #academia.
