Why would a university incite you to drop out of it? What does the university gain from that? Why would you go to university with the intention of dropping out as soon as your startup gains traction? Why not just start your startup right out of secondary school and save yourself thousands in tuition fees? Failing that, what's wrong with finishing your degree and then starting your startup? |

Well, I'm sure they wouldn't incite you to do it, but look how much Harvard has gotten from Facebook, even with the founders dropping out.
They're mentioned in the media any time Facebook or Zuckerberg are (blog articles, newspaper articles, a movie...), they gain prestige as "the place Facebook was founded," and the founders of Facebook will probably make (or already have made) generous monetary contributions.
