[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown has an endowment bigger than some countries at $4.7 billion. They can afford it.[/quote]

It's still only #20 and the lowest in the ivy league.  Harder for them to do than others.  And as we all know, endowment /=cash for any purpose you choose.

Harvard University	Massachusetts	$40.58
Yale University	        Connecticut	$31.20

Okay...and?

The U.S. has both the most expensive universities in the world (by far) and coincidentally - the ones with the largest endowments (by far). Yay us. So glad I'm done with that nonsense.[/quote]

"Okay...and?"  That's the best response you have got?

The US is the most desirable higher education system in the world overall, spends the most per student, and receives much less from government than other countries, which continues to decrease:

So, what do you want?  Higher taxes and more government support? (I do).  Spend less per student and decrease quality? (I don't).  Or some magical event where cost goes down but none of those other things happen?
