but for a different reason.

namely, thanks to folks like W., people realize that these places do NOT produce the smart people anymore. They are more a social function where Biff and Buffy can hook up with Brad and Tiffany to maximize the social connections they had, or in the case of minorties, where Carlos or Jing-Wei or Sadaf can cash in their years being the best test taker to sell themselve to Brad and Tiffany, in the hopes of getting that tech job in San Francisco and that apartment with the high rent. People realize that the Ivies have charge people arms and legs, and for WHAT? A love of learning?, please.

The only thing floating the Ivies is that a lot of foriegn people go there to get that cred that will enable them to get hired in the "Global economy", but one the shareholders of the world realzie that they can outsource CEO's as well, then an American education will not have the Imperial value it does. Indeed, wait until American students start to realize they might get a better education in Europe or Asia, and one that will help them get a job, because they learned to speak Chinese or Urdu or even Russian.
