[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This why we need government funding out of all schools. These universities have sticker prices above $50k a year and most have massive endowments. Let’s then stand, and make decisions, on their own.[/quote]

The government isn't "funding" the schools. The schools compete for research grants. If you are suggesting the government has no role in asking top academic institutions to conduct research, that is an entirely different discussion.[/quote]

Anything that gives governments a say over what colleges do isn’t good. Doesn’t matter if it funding or grants they can hold over their heads. Colleges need to be independent. Everybody understood the system of full pay kids subsidizing grants for non full pay kids. When a legacy with a 3.9 and 1400 got into Harvard we all accepted it, because we knew it helped the kid from a less privileged background with a 4.8 and 1590.[/quote]

I think the opposite is true.

Eliminate tax exempt status and federal funding of private colleges.[/quote]

well then it wont matter to most of you complaining.  [b]Because that $90K yearly costs will skyrocket rapidly and you wont be able to afford to attend even if by some miracle your kid still gets admission

False, because it does not cost $90K+ to educate your kid.  That fee covers financial aid (for others), merit scholarships (for others), bloated admin staff; bloated DEI staff and so on.  Schools need to start cutting expenses.[/quote]

Love how MAGAs want to tell private businesses what to do.

:lol:
