I think educational institutions face the same issues as media, and the cause is very similar. "Outlets are struggling with internal conflicts between wealthy owners, publishers, and mastheads versus their younger, more diverse journalists, on-the-ground writers and editors." What readers - and students, and potential students - want are institution that serve them rather than an elite and disconnected upper class. Too often that's not the case, and so during a funding crisis when institutions seek support from the public, it's not there.
