I went to MIT. MIT is corrupt as !@#$. The amount of money flowing into private pockets at the higher levels is insane. Corrupt isn't the same is criminal -- most of the activity goes through networks of lawyers and loop holes (although criminal activity happens too).
My opinion is that to be eligible for federal financial aid, there ought to be some cap on tuition+expenses at a level students can afford. Subsidizing $200k tuition makes no sense to me. Either students are already very rich, or they'll end up with a painful amount of debt.
I'd much rather have an MIT with old, rundown buildings, low-paid professors, few administrators, and a focus on science and learning (rather than a focus on $300 million buildings, yachts, fancy faculty dining clubs, and increasingly creative ways to funnel money into people's pockets).
