Perhaps I should also add that if Harvard provided access to and free tuition for its employees they would have no issue.

That's a really good point. But, such a move would substantially eliminate other available slots for certian incoming freshman....

Harvard should not pay more than the amount necessary to get a high quality workforce with low turnover. Anything more is a waste of money.

Personally, I think that the US govt. should nationalize Harvard because it is not being operated in the public interest, just as so many Harvard professors have suggested be done with segments of the US economy (pensions, health care, etc.).
