On the original topic, I went to an extremely cheap school and could not figure out where the money was going. It seemed like they must have been paying the professors $800/hour or something, with all the money involved. Of course they weren't. They were just pissing it away. With what college costs, a student should be able to have a private set of teachers in the manner of royalty--but then you wouldn't have those lovely dormitories they tear down and rebuild every few years.
