That was a good piece: You nailed the root cause of corruption in these allegedly "private" universities. But I question your proposed solution: "....phase out, gradually and impartially, all federal grants and subsidies. Make private universities fully private. Let each of us as individuals decide which universities we will frequent and fund." Indeed, that should happen, but who is going to make it happen? There is virtually no chance that the fraudsters who have a stranglehold on our universities will abandon their lucrative government-education-industrial complex. The revolution in education will have to come from a bottom-up, grassroots movement—an "end run" around the establishment. That, in my view, is the right call to action. Good job, keep it up.
