I found that this article could easily have been written about my University, from which I graduated about a year ago. I wanted to do a startup-esque project for my Senior Design capstone project, and I had no end of complications in getting the project approved. It seemed every other student was doing some sort of "academic" endeavor working under a professor (with students all in the same major of course).

I would guess that a majority of Universities are somewhat narrow in their focus and what their definition of success for their students is.
