McGruber: Students Are Customers

McGruber: Watch the forum unfiltered like I did for a better feel for the exchanges. And why is it odd to refer to the students as customers of the college? They determine what courses have value by what courses they pay to study. Doesn't that make them customers? And isn't a career or job the ultimate goal of getting higher education? Unless of course you're going to be a perennial student or aspire to a career in acedemia.

Question: What do you make of the concept that college students are customers?
