| what are you smoking, wagner?
let's just let everyone in everywhere because "school is school."
so when harvard invests almost 400 years to build its brand that's equal to some guy who opens a storefront university tomorrow?
brand equity takes decades, even centuries, to build and from that process comes valuation. it's very humanistic of you to suggest that colleges should let in all comers but not very realistic.
even within the CSU, and UC, there are elites and also rans--not one unit as you suggest. part of what makes a university great is the quality of its student body, and good students typically don't want to go to bad universities. how is the population "harmed" by this? because if i screwed up in high school i should be redeemed by a free pass to princeton? |
