I'm going to go with as a rule if they can't read books they're not elite. Period.

But can they still be at an elite college? Or is it still an elite college if the students there can't read books?

A few centuries ago, the difference between "elite" and "not elite" was the ability to read. And it may become that again.

If you have kids, I don't care what the schools do. You make sure they can and do read.
