A recent series in CNet about corporate influence in classrooms is interesting. While I certainly understand the concern of some people that the ivory tower is becoming tainted by corporate influence, there might not be much alternative. In today's political environment, "tax" is always a four-letter word and there doesn't seem to be much choice but to seek the resources for education from corporate donors (especially if the local community is stupid enough to gut their own tax base by giving away overly generous corporate tax allowances).
