[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] small classes taught by professors, not TAs, that a SLAC provides, [/quote]

I don't disagree with you but you're talking about the wrong subject.  A SELECTIVE liberal arts college -- S.L.A.C. -- is by definition [i]selective[/i].  They turn a lot of applicants away to get the very best class.    They're also expensive.    "reject most applicants + expensive" = "elite."

If you look up again at the subject heading, you'll find a word:  non-elite.    Let's stay on topic.

Whatever header OP bestowed on this thread, the research addresses the value (OK, they call it "payoff") to attending "a more selective college" and the NY Times piece is accordingly entitled, "Revisiting the Value of Elite Colleges." In other words, even if the NY Times chose to beat up on NYU which takes maybe 30% of applicants, it's clear that SLACs are definitely in the orbit of the value question.
