I'm not saying that every rich person who goes to college gets a degree without doing schoolwork.  I do think that probably a lot of rich people who don't do the work graduate from colleges from which real students were rejected because each college only accepts a certain number of people who have to depend on financial aid.

A half-educated lout is less of a menace to society than a totally uneducated lout; that doesn't mean that the educational system is fair in the way that its resources are distributed.
