“If there is an industry to be nationalized and rationed, I’d do it with higher education over healthcare...”

Agree entirely with this, but am concerned that the government would then define (to an even greater degree) what is taught as ‘dogma’ within higher education.

I think a much better solution is to push online learning as a strong and cheaper alternative to bricks and mortar higher education. Most university education is self-teaching/self-learning anyway. If we combine this approach with standardized post-education testing to determine competency, college/university costs will come down in a very big hurry.
