They are private institutions. They can charge whatever they like. How about not providing easy money to absolutely anyone for a college degree?

>> When the government subsidizes student loans...there must be cost controls on the school (no NE private school art majors costing 100k+)

I never said that they couldn't. I said that when the government pays for student loans they should enforce price controls and underwriting of the loans.

They are private institutions that ride on tons of government money because they are for some reason considered non-profit.
