You've got that right! State Universities pay salaries to some of their top administration which would make Boards of Directors at many of our top corporations blush.

Now it seems like everybody is offering night and weekend programs. The growth of overtly for-profit colleges is what forced their publically-funded counterparts to respond in like manner.
