Literature Review #2
"The Meaning of Privatization"



2) Starr, Paul. "The Meaning of Privatization." Princeton University. Princeton University, 1988. Web. 09 Feb. 2016.

3) The meaning of privatization is about the shift in the higher education system's values esentially.  Universities used to be a somewhat affordable means of learning the tools for success in the primary job market.  Now it has become evident that these univsersities have become consumed in monitary greed and self interest at their students expense.

4)  Paul Starr is a graduate of Princeton University and is also a professor of sociology and public affairs at the Ivy league school.  Being knowledgable enough to become a professor of human behavior at one of the most esteemed universities in the world definitely qualifies him as a scholarly source for my paper

5) 1: "Privatization":  The swing in operating philosophy from civic service to self interest.

2: The concept of self interest is what is help me make my argument.  Universities are constantly overlooking the well being of their students and looking into their own.

6)“the swing [to privatization] is not from sociability to intimacy but from civic concern to the pursuit of self-interest”

"A different set of arguments, not chiefly concerned with efficiency, comes from a more sociological theory of privatization that emphasizes the strengthening of communities. "

"At the core of many uses are the two ideas that public is to private as open is to closed, and that public is to private as the whole is to the part. "

7)  The value of this piece of research is crucial to my paper.  Starr's definition of privatization highlights the need of institutions to create income in any way possible.  I can use this to examine why Greek life organizations are tossed out the window yet athletic organizations always get a chance at redemption with less strict ramifications.
