On the one hand, it's a fair criticism. On the other hand, Ezra Klein has a point (as he always does).

These are generally available through JSTOR. You can also just search for the title of the article at UCSD library website, and it'll get you there.

I agree with that. It's a bit perverse, but true! Publics just have pressure from all sides.

This is even worse for the Harvards of the world, but it's true of EVERY R1 research university:

The entire business model of R1 public universities rests on 4 revenue sources:

1. Federal grants
2. Private gifts/endowments
3. Tuition (esp. from foreign students)
4. State $

For decades, 📈 in 1-3 offset a secular 📉 in 4. Now, 1 & 3 are being decimated & 4 ain't coming back. The math is clear.
