Politicians from both parties are doing a masterful job crucifying the likes of Harvard (which admits 1,900 students per year) for the state of higher education in the country while simultaneously cutting state-level university funding down to nothing over the last 15 years.
If people directed their outrage at their state school system or city college instead the problem would be a lot closer to getting fixed, but Harvard is a much more exciting battleground to make a political statement. It has never really been about little Timmy's education, but just sticking it to the other side.
