✨ OOPS SAYS
Turns out "trust us, we're an elite campus" is no longer a valid financial audit. Private universities might actually have to explain why tuition costs a fortune while the library printers still don't work.
What actually happened
THE Supreme Court’s directive to private universities across the country to disclose how financial resources are generated, managed and utilised is welcome. It goes far beyond a routine audit of income and expenditure, aiming instead to measure the gap between what campuses promise and actually deliver. It’s a reality check that’s urgently needed. A perception has gained ground, and not without reason, that the education sector has morphed into a business and real-estate model where all that counts is the number of students who get enrolled and how a surfeit of charges benefits the institution
