For a 70 million dollar donation to a University Dr Dre should get a building named for him. Even if he doesn't the donation was remarkable for someone from the music business. It wasn't spent on building Neverland II.
I took Bachelor's degree from Albany's Excelsior College for five easy payments of $19.95 (actually it was a little more) and was quite happy about it. Actually I only wanted an Associate Degree and got railroaded into getting a B.A. because I was having a hard time getting a couple of classes I needed to finish that program in Alaska, so I got the B.A. and the A.A. at the same time eventually.
In my opinion college education ought to be free. It could be structured like the Excelsior programs with passing grades counting and non-passing not. A college needn't provide all the courses itself. College courses that are accredited can be transferred in to complete the program slots that are required for graduation. The other way is a result of somewhat old program structures that arose when a college had to provide everything itself. It could not afford, nor could most students, to continue in programs in which they were failing. Those structures were unwieldy, inefficient and yet possibly necessary in order to pay educator salaries and physical plants costs (buildings and lights; not staff).
Dr. Dre's daughter was admitted to the college. Some controversy followed the Dr's tweet about her deservingness in comparison to those in the cheating scandal. College exclusivity and cost are a function of unnecessary and anachronistic, persistant college structures designed to be exclusive rather than inclusive. I got a year of college credits with CLEP tests. Any poor yet bright math student should be able to get credits by examination too-on line and transfer them about.
College costs could be drastically reduced and reformed, and exclusive colleges with deep pockets like Harvard might lose some of their gang turf status relationship to government jobs such as the Supreme Court of the United States. Law school costs could be made very low on-line for those willing to spend three years in pursuit of a traditional Cambridge civil and canon law LLD, Society could be made more efficient and egalitarian in many ways rather than dominated by corrupting cliques and exclusive gangs. If people were as publicly spirited to contribute to the betterment of society as Dr. Dre was in his donation to U.S.C. it might be possible to evolve a balanced economic edge of progress.
