"Higher Education: Like Processed Meat"

Quotes from "The McDonaldization of Society" by George Ritzner

"The modern university has, in various ways, become a highly irrational place. . . like cattle run through a meat-processing plant.
The large lecture classes, contained tightly by the clock, make it virtually impossible to know professors personally. At best, students get to know a graduate assistant teaching a discussion section.
In sum, students feel like little more than objects into which knowledge is poured as they move along an information-providing and degree-granting educational assembly line."
