You prefer the European model, where, instead of universities directly seeing where their money comes from, it’s instead laundried through the government, which collects the taxes from juice makers, construction workers, night clubs, and booze sales, then commingles everything together and gives it to universities, so that they don’t see how their bread is being buttered, and can keep pretending it’s pure and untainted by real world considerations?
Either way, unless you eliminate government subsidies, education is paid for by getting a cut on the productive industries. I in fact prefer the UF getting royalties from juice, because at least they earned it.
