HIGHER education is a privilege in itself. Free higher education is a greater privilege.

Getting into a good university whose “goodness” is perceived in its practiced excellence, beyond minimum standards, of instruction, research and community service that implements the university’s particular vision and mission in a manner that is responsive to the university’s stakeholders, is not the privilege of all. Whether their origin is in legislation like the state university or the permit to operate granted by the Commission on Higher Education, a good university comes about neither by legislative nor administrative fiat. It comes about rather by human academicians who dedicate their careers to the idea of a university, to teaching, research and community service most often beyond available compensation, students who repose their trust and hopes for their futures in a particular university, and a good deal of administered resources to make the university work.
