[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public stopped funding state schools and private schools made huge investments in everything. State schools got left behind and except for donut holes top students stopped going to state schools. Also the Ivy League and other elite colleges opened up admissions to non boarding/private school kids (which to this day is very sad for the graduates of private and boarding schools). DCUM posters seemed to have missed this and other factors that have made state schools less competitive and less prestigious. [/quote]

Another interpretation of what you say would be that colleges have overspent and under-delivered on their mission chasing rankings since the inception of USNWR.   The U.S. has gone from having the highest college graduation rate in the industrialized world to being in the middle of the pack despite spending more per capita than any other country and having higher education costs increase faster than any other area of the economy for about 40 years.
