The article describes researchers being rewarded for their publications, and therefore not sharing data with their competitors, who could create a publication with that data which the researcher who shared the data would get no credit for.
You are describing people favoring graduates from top universities, which therefore charge higher tuition since their degrees are more valuable.
I can't see any relationship between these two things, maybe you can clarify.
the top universities are top universities because of what? the standard metric is number of published papers.
So a university to on the top have to play by those rules. and we keeping regarding them as the top are by consequence valuing those rules.
the hypocrisy has to end somewhere. We can't keep up voting those articles that point the problems with academic publishing while giving priority to hire from the institutions that maintain that status quo.
