Higher ed is where I go back to laissez faire. I think there should be completely open admission in all publicly funded higher ed: If you have the financing and want to give it a shot, give it what ya got. Darwin's boney hands sift the chaff from the wheat.

I hate public funding for private education -- at any level. It dissipates public dollars on what should be private enterprise. If your ivy league can't survive without public funds, then you are a publicly funded institution and some pol gets to tell you what to do.
