A blackboard and chalk do not need heavy funding.

The classes I learned the most at in university consisted of a professor, a blackboard, and chalk.

And you're focusing on the funding requirements of the blackboard and chalk in that equation?

The funding (and quality!) of the professor seems more relevant, whether they're teaching on a blackboard, a fancy networked glowing screen, or just declaiming from atop a rock.

Well, yeah, it's the professor, not all the expensive props that the schools say they need funding for.
