Of course, the trick would be to keep government funding from infecting the operation of the schools. For example, funds were denied to schools who prevented military recruiters from operating.
Also, on a note about state supported schools, here is a snippet from Confiscation of American Prosperity: University of California Chancellor Berdahl ... associated the defunding of higher education with the phenomena of rising tuition: "State support for Berkeley's operating budget has fallen from over 60 percent in 1980 to 34 percent at the present time. In the process of privatization of public universities, the largest single group of private contributors is the students, who now contribute about 15 percent of the operating budget of the University."[Berdahl 2000] Later, Berdahl observed that Berkeley had become a "state-assisted institution" rather than a public one. Berkeley is not alone in this respect. Nationally, the share of state budgets going to higher education has shrunk by more than one-third since 1980 (Washburn 2005, p. 8).
