Agreed. American universities need a two-pronged fix.
- Implement ACA-style budget efficiency minimums
This much of tuition must be spent on direct-teaching expenses. Only this much may be spent on everything else. Otherwise the university in ineligible for any federal educational assistance grant/loan.
- Increase funding via increased state contributions to public universities (returning to historical averages), to lower tuition costs
America needs to stop letting their University systems bloat everything unrelated to actual education and research.
