In my honest opinion, innovating in the Educational sphere and showing value to one or more groups - educators, students, administrative tasks - should really be rewarded fiscally. An institution won&#x27;t really do that, except in the long-term by way of job stability and benefits (all subject to modern fiscal pressures). So, while it might seem the case, I think this avenue is perfectly reasonable.<p>Now, educators who write texts in concert with publishers and then somehow coerse students into buying brand new copies every semester, that&#x27;s what I&#x27;d call profiteering. Not so highly esteemed to me. But, as noted, the profession is a tradeoff a lot of times.
