Most IIT professors have PHDs at US top 20 universities. Most sub-elite professors are teaching because they couldn't find a job in CS and have never published a paper in their lives.
What does that have to do with the quality of teaching? I feel like you might be falling into the trap of equating "quality" with "eliteness".
It is entirely unfair that the state of a person from age 15-18 leads to an opportunity gap that's this massive.
Agreed, with respect to the US. We would all be better off if, instead of a perfectly scheduled ladder from age 5 to 25 of school, university, and career, it was normal to have a wide range of ages in all university programs, at all tiers. You should be able to decide at 28 or 38 or 58 that it's time to take the qualifying test and be admitted to a prestigious school.
