Plenty of universities work (often in collaboration with national laboratories and/or with corporations) on work that's far more important and critical than many "real for-profit businesses".

This is not better or worse. It's just as bad. Do you not think universities handle sensitive information?
A large part of what universities do is research in consultation with businesses and especially governments. It's not just teaching students; in many universities, that's only a small fraction of what the staff do.
ha. Have you seen what some countries charge for tuition.
University administrators are not shareholders! Their greed is much better for society...
Why the heck would an administrator care if they 'hold shares' when they are pulling 200k-500k per year as base pay?
Ouch! Is "greed" a bad word? It's not an inaccurate one...
