I think I'm not understanding your comment correctly--are you saying that you think Stanford should be shut down?


No, I'm saying that prestige schools are a symptom of a broader socioeconomic failing - something about how power is obtained and maintained, which I struggle to articulate properly. Shutting down prestige schools does nothing for the broader failing in broader society; at best, it papers over a visible sign of the failing.
