Yet another bias argument from the left.

Education has become a great "business" for most non profit and for profit schools. It has become an issue of branding rather than substance.

There are plenty of PhD's from traditional long established Universities driving cabs. No one should have to face 100K in student loans just to get a bachelor's degree from a name brand school.
College level work today is just entry level for most professional work.
In the long run it's the student not the school that makes a difference.
