The Case for Unfair Competition
Captive operations like in-plants support their parent organizations’ missions, bringing better flexibility and control. For this reason, insists one university administrator, the competition should be unfair.
But mission funding won't work for service departments. If printing services were free to other departments, they would be abused. The same with photography, painting, woodworking, television services, and the like. The giving away of these types of services encourages the human tendency to overuse and abuse.
