The Corporations Devouring American Colleges

higher learning is supposed to be an engine of social mobility. Today, our countries best colleges are an overpriced gated community whose benefits accrue mostly to the wealthy. At 38 colleges, including Yale, Princeton, Brown and Penn, there are more students from the top 1 percent than the bottom 60 percent.

Tuition prices aren’t the only reason for this, but they’re a major one. Public university tuition has doubled in the last two decades, tripled in the last three. Prestige-hungry universities admit large numbers of students who can pay ever-increasing fees and only a relative handful of low-income students. The U.S. now has more student loan debtthan credit card debt—upward of $1.5 trillion. Nearly 40 percent of borrowers who entered college in the 2003 academic year could default on their loans by 2023, the Brookings Institution predicts.

Capitalism is ruining our colleges and their purpose. It's become a big business/racket.

This, like healthcare, is just another thing for profit corporations don't run well. Schools, prisons, our elections are a few others.
