In other countries, top ranked universities are available to top students at nominal cost..The idea behind this is that if a student is good/smart, cost shouldn’t be an issue. You only have to pay a lot for school if you couldn’t get into a top rank school. We still have it backwards though because now you need to pay a lot for any schools. But at least for some of these private schools, there is some donors and foundations to allow underprivileged talent to get in..
And let’s face it, a lot of the state funded universities shouldn’t be teaching half of the subjects they are teaching.. They aren’t necessarily generating people who are employable in the modern economy… I don’t understand, for example, if state funding supports college “degrees” in things such as shakespearian history or the likes…. how that is necessarily a good use of state dollars to training our younger generation of tomorrow….
Maybe some of the increased costs will make people think twice about what they want to go to college for.
