From "Immeasurable Outcomes - Teaching Shakespeare in the Age of the Algorithm" by Gayle Greene:

"The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation may be the destructive force in education," writes John Warner in Inside Higher Education. If Gates has his way - as he may, since his foundation "has influence everywhere...federal, state...local," writes Tom Loveless of the Brookings Institue - we may be seeing increased pressure on higher education to transform itself into a system that works for students motivated primarily by the drive for earnings. People are rarely so single-mindedly bent on gain, except in the eyes of those who are motivated themselves; though in desperate times, "incentivzed" by the reward system the Gates Foundation proposes, they may be pushed to do so.
