In research (read: technical departments) universities under grads are seen as, and treated as aggravating and unavoidable nuisances.

Even at public schools, tuition usually accounts for less than 20% of the school’s revenue but over 50% of the cost. Schools like Georgia Tech would actually make a profit every year if they stopped admitting students and sold off the academic buildings.

Teaching performance is part of the tenure requirement at every college I’ve ever visited.
