"Routinely out perform" On what scale? Mind giving evidence?
Yeah, "pay for service" so only cater to those who can afford it, **** the rest.

World Reputation Rankings 2015 results - Times Higher Education
World ranking of higher education schools.
Notice the first one, Harvard. A 100% private, pay-for-service school.
Out of the top 50 schools in the world... how many are from 'free-college' countries? Only FOUR. Three from Germany, and one from Sweden. The top one being 35th on the list.
Now how many are from the US? 26. More than half. 8 of the top 10 are US schools.
Now how many of those are private universities? 8 of the top 10, are private universities. Not public.
Do you need more evidence, or is this clear enough?
Yes, only those that can afford it. If Thomas Sowell, from a broken family, with no money, can work his way through Harvard... anyone can if they really want to.
Besides that, we have dozens of heavily funded public colleges. If it were possible to have a publicly funded college achieve the level of education that Harvard can.... then how about you people on the left, shut up.... and do it. But we've played it your way, sinking hundreds of billions into higher education for decades now, and you have failed over and over and over.
Why should people who are willing to work, and pay, for a better education, be penalized simply because your system sucks?
Reputation has nothing to do with results buddy.
Are you playing stupid, or actually are? The reputation was based on two thinks... teaching and research. Would you claim that research done by the school isn't important... or that teaching isn't? Which idiotic claim would you like to support?
I didn't know two "thinks" was an actual statement, might want to look into actually wording your post. None the less, actual results, in terms of graduation, going to get employed, student debt that students will have to carry, that's what matters, not subjective reputation chart on a random website.
The fact that the best you can do, is point out irrelevant typos, shows how bankrupt you are intillectually. You've had your face bashed in by every poster you've talked to, for the past dozens posts. I'm not surprised you are grasping at anything now.
Student debt, is not relevant to the quality of the school.
Are you saying that a school that does zero research on anything, and has no teachers, would score higher if the student debt was zero?
What s Better than Getting Into Harvard Not Having to Pay For It - Forbes
Three fourths of Princeton students graduate debt free, with the other fourth possessing loans that average five to six thousand.
So I guess that claim doesn't even help your argument.
I also don't agree that post-education employment means anything either. A degree never get's you a job. What get's you a job, is having skills, and people skills, and a drive.
If you can't relate to people very well, it doesn't matter what degree you have from where. If you don't have actual job skills... the ability to get up, ON TIME, and get to the job ON TIME, and perform solid work ALL DAY... then you are going to have a hard time getting a job.
If you are not social, you will have a hard time. Being a team player, is more important, than having skill. You might be the best whatever, on the face of G-d's green Earth, but if you walk in all arrogant, and self-absorbed, you are not going to get a job very easy.
And lastly drive. You must have drive. You come in, eyes on the floor, with your shirt not tucked in, and without a belt on, and mumbling 'hello' in a weak voice, handing a dead fish to the person you meet.... you are not getting the job, now matter if you were top of the class at Harvard 4 years straight.
I judge schools based on what the SCHOOL does. Not what the students do after they leave school
Now I get it, if every single student comes out unable to get a job, because their degree is worthless to the private market... there's a problem there. But you can't tell me that Harvard has such a bad reputation, that people are ignoring the degrees they issue. Which again, is why reputation is counted to begin is why you look at 'teaching' and 'research'. No one says "Oh those Harvard degrees are worthless".
