<p>BBC</a> News - Academics launch £18,000 college in London</p>
<p>Good idea?</p>
<p>“While many would love the opportunity to be taught by the likes of AC Grayling and Richard Dawkins, at £18,000 a go it seems it won’t be the very brightest but those with the deepest pockets who are afforded the chance.”</p>
<p>1/5 receive scholarship. And the poor kids can take loans that they don’t repay until they graduate and meet a threshold (think 20K+). Anyway, education isn’t a right (especially higher education) therefore nothing wrong with setting up a for-profit. In terms of prestige, they got some major names but in 10 years most of those professors will either be dead or retired. Will they still attract new major league players? Doubt it therefore won’t become the next Warwick or LSE rather your average rich for profit US college where a upper-middle class+ parent can send the child who failed to get into Oxbridge/Durham etc.</p>

Lawl, you’re a nihilist, you don’t think anything is a right.</p>
<p>Lol. It’s true though, actually not true ('cause I could be wrong) but still.</p>
