You still need price pressure on the schools. If tuition keeps on going through the roof but no one cares because it's "free" we're still blowing a lot of money

- nawitus 13y agoI'm not sure how it's done in Scandinavia. I think the government can simply fund public universities with a lump sump (per student), and disallow any tuition charges. Universities could then raise additional private money to use as they see fit.
