> Dumping money into schools won't fix education, either.

Depending on what you mean by "fix". If colleges payed Silicon Valley salaries, I think the quality of College Education would soar.

That's not what is generally meant by dumping money into education (normally it refers to primary/secondary education), but I think it holds true here too. After all, we're putting FAR more money into colleges than we did 20 years ago, but very little of that money is going to the professors and it's VERY debatable if there's been any improvement to outcomes due too that funding increase.
