[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 729013, member: 198"] I think that universities with huge endowments should be working towards making undergraduate educations cost-free for the students. I believe the enrollment should match the ability of the endowment to cover the costs of the students. Alumni will pay that back by growing the endowment. Eventually, the university reaches a critical size and the maximum capacity is reached with a cost-free undergraduate program. I think the Ivy League schools already have the endowments to do this but choose to continue to grow the endowment instead of fully funding the students. Once full capacity is reached, favoritism and people buying enrollments goes away. But, unfortunately, it's a chest-thumping matter regarding the size of the endowment, so instead of spending all of the gains on the students, a large portion is moved to increasing the principal.
