So you're saying academics use the same opaque market practices as, e.g. health insurance? Yeah all the more reasons to cut funding. If they have nothing to hide they have nothing to fear with transparency.

You seem to have no interest in transparance or understanding, but answer everything with "cut the universities" no matter what.

If differential pricing based on ability to pay is a reason to destroy something, then we had better destroy 90% of B2B. But it's not a reason, you're just parroting the same desired end result no matter what is actually said about universities.

What's not transparent?

We know this information because the colleges give it out. They are transparent.

There's not much the colleges can do if somebody is commenting without researching.
