What do Borders, Kodak, and Blockbuster have in common with American higher education? All three organizations failed and are currently in bankruptcy. Borders is gone, Kodak is suffering a lingering death, and Blockbuster was bought by Dish, which is gradually shrinking what was left of the company.
