"Two things and only two things are necessary — teachers and students. Buildings and endowments may help, but they are not indispensable."

This reminds me of Wolf Wolfensberger et al. on the de-institutionalisation of "care" models. Notice who is going to suffer over the closure? The can't be the service users of there are other people who won't suffer - the bureaucrats, that makes them the service users. Another example of the Leninist economy for the rich and the fascist economy for the rest of us.
