You know how bad Harvard is? They have enough money to give free education to all of their students but they won't do it because a Harvard education is a Veblen good. Its prestige is based on the fact that it costs so much and is in limited quantity. It is like the South African controlled diamond market.
If people knew how many diamonds there were down there, they wouldn't spend $10k on a rock for their girlfriend.
Khan Academy and others are the polar opposite of Harvard.
I am not actually against Harvard, but I think that if UOP did the same thing, people would be outraged.
