speaking of Private options, why is it seemingly impossible for a state of 6 million people to have 1, just 1, non-profit private university? How is it possible that this hasn't happened? (if it has happened, the school obviously isn't worth talking about). Is Apollo Group (U of Phx) behind this, or is it just that the era of new non-profit private universities is over?

That reminds me, when I worked for the state a while back, I met a man who worked on the board that had oversight of private universities in AZ, including the Apollo Group. He told me there were a total of 4 full time employees at this Board. Makes ya think just how much oversight the largest private for profit education company in the US has. 4 people to overlook a company of 14,500 people and 2.723 billion in revenue. Of course they aren't the only ones looking at U of Phx.
