If you want money and the numbers say that, than obviously you should do that. I don't think either of us know enough to say for sure, I was simply speculating.

Are you stating this as fact? I'm honestly not sure since you wrote, "is it". If so, what if some do not share this goal?

Than in my mind they are not a University whose mission is education. Anything else is a business University, whether their commodity is money or publications.

How can you possibly know something like this with such certainty? It literally takes just one person to make this statement false.

I'm claiming that for society (underprivileged * degree) + (privileged * talent difference) > (underprivileged) + (privileged * degree * talent difference). Less people collecting welfare, less crime, less single moms, etc. I'd like to look at data that contradicts this. I can't offer up data myself though at the moment, so I certainly don't expect it.
