I don’t disagree - it’s just I don’t think you’re paying for what you think you are paying for.

A world renowned research university- let’s call it Barvard, hires brilliant researchers who invent amazing technologies and win prizes. That’s great. And the richest people on the planet try send their kids there. I mean the small airfield next to Barvard is solid with private Lear jets at every commencement ceremony weekend. And that’s what is being paid for. Some bright kids will get scholarships. But Barvard is only affordable to people who also have Lear jets because people who have Lear jets want their kids to go to university with kids of other people who have Lear jets. So the prices get jacked up so much because there are only so many places.

The point of elite university is to give elites access to each other.

Fund universities as we fund schools. Remove charity status. And require research universities and Ivy League to never allow students from the top 1% of wealth.
