I believe that people should be excited that such institutions are being created because it creates competition in the marketplace. When there is more competition, the quality becomes the issue and that is always a good thing. As mentioned before, the students are the ones to decided whether the school is good or not, not pundits, bloggers, or journalists.

I am simply tired of public institutions complaining about the private sector. Last I checked the overall goal for all is to educate the public. What difference does it matter whether your degree comes from a public or private institution. Cry me a river dolly…
