[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Universities could do that. If they did, though, they would miss out on lots of brilliant, creative, highly motivated students — the kind who add to a school’s reputation.  Some of them would rather be known as excellent schools —  with grads who change the world,  than a less than top tier school, whose reputation is known for taking in students whose parents can pay their bills for them.  Eventually, the school’s reputation as a quality institution craters, and top tier students and faculty will no longer seek them out.

Actually in other countries, tuition rates do vary by the major/course of study. In the UK for example. Studying economics/management/medicine/computer science has higher tuition than studying history. I don’t see Oxford/cambridge/LSE having any hit to their reputation. It is a realistic way to acknowledge that different majors lead to different salaries, on average, and may create more willingness to study less financially lucrative majors the students are interested in, if at least they don’t have to pay as much as the economics major who is going to go into consulting.
