would be so easy for some random billionaire to cut them a check

  It wouldn't be easy. It seems like they were providing a sub-par education at >$30k per year. https://lincolncollege.edu/file/471/21-22%20Undergraduate%20Catalog%20-%20Final.pdf https://lincolncollege.edu/file/471/21-22%20Undergraduate%20... Math runs out at calculus. No computer science. Very few programs which would translate to real careers. Reforming a school like this is much more than cutting a check. It's a worthwhile project, but it's a major undertaking.

  Would be so easy for the US government to turn community colleges into 4 year colleges and make them part of them part of the basic curriculum, should students want to continue their education for free, while allowing private universities to remain just like private primary schools. Our population shouldn't have to rely on the whims of billionaires while our government wastes billions on no-bid contracts, ridiculous military spending and domestic spying programs... I apologize for my rant =)

    No that totally makes sense. It would be a small fraction of the defense budget. And having an educated and informed populace is just what we need to remain competitive globally.
