[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What will be interesting to see is what ultimately happens to the reputations of the Ivies that remain very popular among foreigners.  I have not idea how this will work out and am just throwing the thought into the pot.  But, a lot of the kids attending Harvard, Yale, etc. are the global oligarchic elite.  They are wealthy and are from the powerful parts of their respective societies.  But, I don't know how many of them are actually that smart and/or have a lot of intellectual drive or what their work ethics might be like.  A lot of them are also beneficiaries of gains from corruption and so may lose all they have fairly quickly.  The point being that they may not be the Nobels, Pulitzers, Gates, etc. of the future.  Those may start to be produced by the kids who are graduating from the non-top 20/50 or whatever.  Will be interesting to see.[/quote]

Because that is what happened when the Brittish universities became the destination schools for international elites.  Oxford alone has educated over 30 heads of state, while still staying near the top of the Nobel league tables.  1,000 year slow decline.[/quote]
