Just as wholesale tinkering with the secondary education system led to

will see Cambridge, Oxford, Imperial, Edinburgh, and others removing
themselves from the public sector, and setting fee levels comparable
with the Ivy League colleges in the US (with which they would then be
competing for the able students of the affluent).


If you look at their fees for non-UK or non-EU students, they are
actually very comparable to the Ivy League colleges and others on the
west coast with similar academic standing. They are all in the
$30-40k per annum range.
