I agree, outsource all the professors and facilities staff too. Even cheaper, no buildings or classes. Best value: $20 gets your name printed on the degree of your choice. I mean, it's cheaper, they'd be doing their fiduciary duty, and the student gets a degree. Learning is, at best, ancillary to the sober work of cutting costs.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, "
Declaration of Independence makes it pretty clear that life is a human right and that the feds are responsible for the health and happiness of the citizens. But then again, I'm sure there's a reason that it doesn't count as a founding document in some lines of thinking.
I think mandatory voting should come with 2 or 3 simple multiple choice questions that test the voter's grasp of democracy, the state they live in and the USA as a whole. Nothing that could possibly disenfranchise anyone except morons. The vote is weighted by how many questions the person gets right. All right and you get 100%, none right and you get 30%.

Yeah, this. I tried using the clone, everpad, and it doesn't even synchronize notes properly.

Ahhh, the old fashioned literacy test.
