Educational institutions are the rocks on which the endless waves of ignorance crash and are broken. Educational capactiy thus needs to grow with the overall population. And if you don't grow the elite schools - or build new elite schools - you lock the society into oligarchy, as the relative size of the 'elite' grows smaller and smaller, educating the Sackler children while locking out increasing proportions of talented kids from less advantaged class backgrounds.

I don't see why we need to increase Ivy League enrollment at the expense of other schools, since the Ivy League is mostly a positional good (it marks you as more qualified than other people, so if more people enjoy it then it loses its value).
