Just going to throw this out there...
The value of top schools is the professors and instruction. The administration, not so much.
Perhaps the startup should be in how to automate and standardize university administration so that the majority of tuition goes to the educators.

- Siira 6y agoMost of the value is actually in signaling and the peer group.
- FeeJai 6y agoThat is the sad and dirty truth about American higher ed. It's basically just buying an entry ticket to an exclusive club
- PragmaticPulp 6y agoThat doesn’t contradict the idea that the value is in the top quality professors. Much of the signaling value is that the person has already spent four years studying under top quality professors and managed to pass without dropping out or failing out. The idea that someone can get admitted to a top university and then somehow graduate without managing to learn at a high level and pass all of their courses is basically a myth.
- NationalPark 6y agoThat's definitely what some students extract from it but the professors are indeed real and they will talk with you if you ask nicely.
