And who guarantees that students aren't just taken for their cash and end up
with a lousy education? In other words who guarantees the level of education
a
student gets at such a newly founded private institution? I find a private
university, without *any* form of government interference, a rather scary
thought. Especially in health sciences.

Well in the context of professions (doctors lawyers social workers you name
it) there are tests that must be taken in order to practice your profession.
Professional schools are required to meet certain standards in order to
become acredited. You guys have a very weird notion of what life is like in
the US. Private does not mean unregulated and uncontrolled. It is just that
the regulatory agencies may not be governmental. For instance the much hated
American Medical Association is the parent institution for many of the
medical regulatory organizations and yet these organizations function
indepedent of the AMA. They are not of course non-political but they are
independent.
