    Erm, we've been part of Europe for rather a long time and seem to be the only country implementing most EU laws, but we British never want to actually admit that we're like the French :D

    well they do in their jobs after graduating pay more.
    But I think the perfect system would be an Alumni Tax, where a certain percentage of your income would go to your old department at university, thus the good universities, not all (as in a disproportionate number of bad ones) benefit. This amount would not even have to be very big, and it would mean that the universities would gain not on numbers, but on results.
