No one is arguing it is some sort of human right. The argument is that being the owner-operator of a small business is a financially different situation from having a lot of liquid wealth sitting around. And that smart universities should figure that out so they don’t accidentally lose good students over silly structural flaws in their financial aid processes.
There are countries with free public respected universities. So yeah not a human right but not that far off depending on where you live.
yes, and Europe also has some extremely expensive private universities, and the US has vastly cheaper options than MIT.
