The universities could have expanded campuses and opened up new ones at any time. Harvard could easily double or triple their class size with no negative effects in terms of student body. They choose not to because it would dilute their brand and they're more about an exclusive club than educating students or doing research. Their doner class that finds their hedge fund doesn't like that.

Let's not pretend that was the topic.

What is the topic?

You said they should now build foreign campuses. I said they won't because it would dilute their brand. And they could have done so in the US or abroad before this.

What am I missing here?

If only the noble deserve a reasonable state then welcome to hell.

That's like saying that knowledge could be distributed by printing words on paper. Just ridiculous.
