I am inclined to agree with Joey Coleman - business schools will expand not because they offer anything uniquely academic, but "only because they are profitable units within the money-hungry modern university." The success of business schools, in other words, is derived from their clientèle, not their academic content. Which means we should look at the suggestion that they include more of the liberal arts. If we follow this to its logical conclusion, liberal arts will be offered increasingly in business schools, and decreasingly to the general population as a whole. So Coleman's response is, essentially, if business people want to study liberal arts, then great, but they should be studying it from people who actually specialize in the subject, and teach it to everyone, and not some sort of private business-only version.
