Duke is a private college, doesn't seem like the author understands that.
I don't think they think Private colleges should be allowed. I've heard that argument in the past.
I've had diehard democrat liberals tell me they believe there should only be one model of house. That we should all live in the same type of house (fairness). But then, who decides what house (model) it is we're all going to live in, and who's going to pay for the house for drug addicts or addicts of any type?
I have no great admiration for Duke, but the times doesn't seem to understand that Duke is a private university - with a huge endowment and supported by the Duke Endowment - and NC Central is a public university that must compete for funds with other public colleges and universities in NC.
