True, but it's another reason why it's going to create a divide. Popular universities, where courses are oversubscribed will be charging the maximum because they can get it. So admission is less likely to be based on academic qualifications and more on who can afford to pay for it.

I don't think that a university education is a luxury, and whilst not a necessity I think that it is something that should be available for absolutely anyone who wants it not something that should be available to only those who can afford it.
