How about we build our own Harvards where anybody who wants to study can come and learn whatever they want? And the network comes from being surrounded by other people who cared enough to learn.
We don’t need these places anymore. We’ll find our own funding and do our own research and screw the system. We’ll build our own system.
I personally think that the education aspect of colleges is massively overrated, that the quality of the university pretty much all comes from the quality of its recruitment (its students). The teaching is typically very average (researchers aren't necessarily good professors). But if the game is that this badge is required to land a high paying job, a kid today doesn't really have a choice. It's kind of a prisonner dilemna.
We could have a system where the name of the university wouldn't matter that much. That's pretty much how Germany works if I understand correctly.

oops, is that not inclusive enough? I would like to rephrase then:
