Private Schools (talking about private universities)

This is a quick report discussing the governmental move to close and merge financially troubled universities. This is not good news for academics in an already competitive job market and it is worse news for poorly served regional schools outside major metropolitan areas.

Possible jumping off points:
1) Why should the government interfere with the business of these schools?
2) Why is the government funding private schools?
3) Why are these schools failing?
4) Who is going to hurt the most due to the closing of these schools?
5) Who is going to benefit the most due to the closing of these schools?
6) What changes need to be made (if any) to ensure that regions outside the major metropolitan areas have access to adequate higher education?
7) What is the danger of these areas not have access to quality education?
