Unlike secondary education, universities and colleges "compete" with each other for students since students receive government funding for loans, grants, and scholarships. In addition, both public and private schools receive subsidies in endownments, government grants, and in the case of public universities from partial state funding. I don't know about tax-exempt status but I would guess that private universities probably also are exempt from local income taxes and property taxes.

Private secondary schools compete from a disadvantage because of the costs of special education services and immigrant population. Both programs are recent developments.

This is rich. You want to go back to the 50's.

As Chaz has correctly pointed out, Ca (at least) had excellent public schools in the 50s and early 60s - and look at the university system in Ca, my alma mater is a public university and the premiere university in the country in many disciplines. Wasnt that the ideal?
