While I am interested to see how the debate over making college affordable for all plays out, one thing everyone should keep in mind is that a huge chunk of the country’s higher education capacity is in private colleges and universities. Public universities simply do not have the capacity to service all of the students who currently attend college, let alone all of the people who will want to attend college of it become free or very inexpensive. Thus, simply making public university tuition free or essentially free would cause huge disruption in the industry as the overwhelming majority of people seeking a college education would gravitate to the public universities. This would have the effect of leaving primarily only the weakest of students who could not gain admission to the publics to attend the private colleges and universities, which in turn would put huge financial pressures on the private schools and ultimately force a substantial number to become financially nonviable and close. Thus, as we debate the desirability of free or very low cost college, it will be important to work out how society would transition to any system being proposed and whether the impact the new systems would have on our huge array of private institutions is one that is desirable.
