[quote=scaredyclassic]maybe the solution is to raise out of state tuition to levels that produce a profit and can subsidize expansion for CA students.
why not $120k a year for out of state tuition. or 175k for foreigners? or hell, 250k a year for uc, 219k for cal state? if theyre loaded, whats the difference? at the very least it should cost the same as a top pvt school. we should find outvwhat the market will bear maybe we can find 500 chinese people who will pay 2 million each for a degree. is a billion enough to run the whole shebang?
wait…similar to bidding up property prices, we can auction off a set number of uc seats worldwide, no min. qualification. pay all 4 yrs upfront. no refund if u fail out, grade foreigners on a curve and kick out 1/3 of the class every year!! haha! like old school law schools!! then we can find out exactly what its worth.
ebay.
im guessing its well over 100k a year. why in the hell would we charge less than they are willing to pay????
if each chinese dude was ponying up 2 million for a degree, maybe we could give scholarships to everyone….
make it illegal for student visa holders to pay less than 500k a year to study here in ca, so pvt schools cant compete on price. thats what it costs, baby. pay to play…[/quote]
Why don’t we rate tuition based on someone’s academic performance? Low performing students need to subsidize and pay more tuition versus high performing students…If you think about it, it makes sense. More resources need to be spent teaching underachieving students. Therefore, college tuition should be based on one’s grades. Someone with a 4.0 gets almost a free ride. Someone that gets a 2.7, pays for most everyone else’s tuition. Now of course, the weighting would be weighed. Clearly an A+ in Religious Studies wouldn’t necessarily carry the same weight as a B- in Organic Chemistry.
In a lot of ways, this is how the rest of our society works. In the private sector, your bonus/raise is often dependent based on your performance.
