I thought of another, similar way this is ridiculous on my way to grab some coffee.
The tuition for my private university alma matter is lower per student per year than the flagship state school spends per year to educate the students who attend. Shouldn't the state just shut down the state school and start paying subsidies to send kids to the private school?
Oh yeah, they can't get in. I say this not in an elitest way, but rather in a the private school has an enrollment of aproximately 1/20 the state school. and thanks to its endowment, it spends even more than the state school per student, above and beyond the tuition, an advatage that's gone when the enrollment suddenly goes up by a factor of 20.
