Decreasing government funding and increased corporate influence have combined to create transformation in higher education. Considering the shifting nature of higher education funding and the pressures that have come with this change, the purpose of this paper is threefold: First, an overview of the paradigm of higher education is provided, including a brief examination of how higher education in the US has evolved from the mid-20th Century to its current form. The point of this is to provide an explanation of how the corporate/entrepreneurial university has emerged. Within this discussion, ethical consequences of corporate funding are presented. Second, some approaches for exploiting external partnerships are discussed. Finally, innovative strategies for maintaining academic and professional ethics are proposed.

This research examined the impact the Academic Progress Rating (APR) has had on NCAA Division I college football programs. The Director of Football Operations at NCAA Division I institutions were surveyed regarding how the APR has changed their program's recruiting and retention strategies. Results indicated the APR has caused programs to recruit more academically qualified prospects that have a decreased risk of becoming discipline problems. This may have resulted in improved graduation rates. However, football programs have also been forced to retain discipline problems on their rosters. Having a number of discipline problems on a team can negatively impact the programs ability to achieve athletic success. Keeping athletes with discipline problems becomes increasingly risky for coaches. The dilemma has become does the coach potentially lose their job as a result of keeping a player who is a discipline problem or do they possibly lose their job due to low APR scores.
