The private university system is like a continuation of country clubs & good Ole boys network. It's existence requires exclusivity & stealing public resources. It then pushes benefits, not related to education, as a means of luring the money while alienating the community.
We carry the student debt. They get the land tax free. They leverage eminent dormant to take lands and claim blight on communities to steal homes as well. Then gate it off and hire police to keep locals out
Consider your history of Columbia, Trinity and Yale.
I suggest some prileved individuals that have benefited from this arrangement lead the fight against student debt and reclaim those lands and tax the lands immediately.
