Well, that just goes to show that any current leftist approach to higher education must prioritize nationalization as a goal. It really is amazing how long some of us can discuss the issue without mentioning the siphoning of public resources into an (even more) unaccountable system of private universities, which would collapse overnight without these massive subsidies. If our topic were charter schools (or private-sector, publicly-funded providers of any other service), wouldn't this critical distinction arise in the first five seconds?
