My ‘creative’ response (using my cognitive surplus apparently):
A decline in government support for universities is “inevitable” and higher education must embrace entrepreneurialism to survive, a US university president has warned the UK sector.

I recently viewed the TED Talk video of Clay Shirky discussing cognitive surplus and LOL cats. How interesting to come across your blog post with an appropriate LOL cat that nicely related to your topic! Thanks.
Thanks Lynn. Shirky gave a talk here in Bristol last week. Several of my colleagues have written responses on our research centre blog: Clay Shirky, Cognitive Surplus… but where is Karl Marx?, Shirky, Huxley, Leisure and Marx, you may find these of interest.
