Since the time universities became fee charging rather than permitting entrance only to those students with the highest academic achievements and who attended courses for free, this relatively problematic business model has brought with it some alarming consequences.

Secondly, the doors were wide open to paying international students, often with poor English skills, and the business model took a further dive.
