Universities Face Increased Pressure from Job Programs That Generate Results, Not Just Debt - Foundation for Economic Education
 
Matéria interessante (em inglês) confrontando o modelo ISA com o modelo tradicional das universidades públicas. No ISA, os alunos não pagam para entrar na universidade e estudar; pagam quando saem, se conseguirem emprego com salário superior a um valor preestabelecido.

Highlights:

"The ISA model makes sense and is popular among students. They don’t have to pay anything up front, they receive training, and they only pay Lambda School back if they get a job earning more than $50,000/year."

"In a public education model, you throw money at a group of students hoping the product of education will help them earn more so you can tax them more and then take some of the tax revenue to throw at more students."

 "...The university gets paid regardless of outcome. It’s the third party that actually gets shafted. Taxpayers and the government have to hope that the universities do a good job of increasing student pay, but the universities don’t actually have to show that connection. Then there’s actually a fourth party in the form of the business or organization that hires the graduate, which must now bear the cost of training them since the university did a poor job. There’s no incentive to perform. If anything, there’s an incentive to just get more students in the program, regardless of outcome."
