In my opinion most are overcharging for their product and have no stake in the outcome that the graduate who purchases their product will in fact be able to find a job using those skills.

True. Most universities get the lion's share of their money from research their profs do. I think they jack-up tuition just because they can (to build flashy new stadiums, etc). Private schools are a different matter, and I'm not aware of all their inner workings (I went to state universities, not Stanford or Yale). They charge what the market will bear, I suppose. State universities are controlled by the state, at least somewhat. I went to the university where the president of said university once said that the school would run better without students. (He wasn't president much longer after he said that.) They still tried to shut down the music program while they built luxury skyboxes for the stadium.
