Correct, we can't realistically untether higher education from public dollars, so the public should get to exercise more oversight.
Whether it is the loans or the reduced property taxes, the public is always footing part of the bill.

Every public institution has open board meetings, with board members who are either publicly elected, or appointed by an elected official. They also have constant and consistent reporting to the state and federal government about budget, student achievement, and various institutional and student based outcomes. I think maybe it's less that there needs to be more reporting, and maybe just put what we already have in a more accessible format?
