Hospitals and universities are non-profits, and thus tax-exempt. If a patient enters a hospital and emerges as a physically disfigured, cancer-ridden, totally changed person, lawsuits would ensue, trustees would be held responsible, regulators would get involved, the media would go into a frenzy, and the victim/patient would win millions in damages. If there is a pattern of such malfeasance, the hospital might even lose its accredidation.
If a student enters a university and emerges intellectually and spiritually disfigured, pathologically cancer-ridden with contempt, and radically altered, he will still think of himself as morally superior while advocating moral relativism, carry with him a condescending know-it-all'ism while knowing nothing, will be bitter towards everyone but the university, and still be deeply saddled with debt.
We punish hosptials for their negligence and malfeasance. Shouldn't we punish universities for the same? And the first punishment should be simple: remove their non-profit protection status. The entire higher-education racket has become a RICO con-job, a spiritual Superfund site, something Tony Soprano would regret not getting involved in earlier in his career.
If the radicals want to "tear it down," be my guest. Just start with the IRS and go from there.
