Fantasy University Ideas: Instructors Recruiting Students & Admission Based Upon Ability to Learn! Could Tyler Cowen Offer A Better College Experience? Could The Ideas Work In K-12 Public Schools?

The sting of high tuition hit him several years back when a grandson enrolled at the University of Miami, which currently charges $75,230 a year for tuition and room and board.
