It's just that the internet visitors have targeted themselves. Advertising is generally disliked because people don't need it and don't ask for it, because it has the reputation of being dishonest, and because it intrudes on entertainment time. Web sites are chosen by the customer, who is willing to believe what is there. Web sites allow customers to demonstrate the message for themselves, rather than have it shouted in their ears.

Many summer sessions function primarily as welfare programs for faculty.
Under the faculty welfare model, departments determine the summer curriculum, dictating what is taught, when it is taught, and who teaches it.

Conspicuously absent from this cozy arrangement is the academic welfare of students, especially continuing students who generally constitute most of our summer enrollments. A replacement director is to be named this month.
