I agree. Just because you accept some tax breaks should not, in my opinion, mean that you stop being a private organization. If a university's standard is lowered because the rich, not the best are admitted, that will be reflected in the academic standards of the university and would make it less attractive.
- munk-a 7y agoCan I reword that to: "Just because I receive public funding I shouldn't have to act like a publicly funded organization?" Also, I totally reject this on the basis that education is a public service that allows economic mobility - restricting it to the rich, whether in a public or private setting - is immoral.

So because you have to pay for something, only the rich will afford it? Just like only the rich surf the internet, because AT&T charges a subscription?
