... This doesn’t mean that crowd-sourced sleuthing is necessarily bad or that law enforcement should discourage it. On the contrary, in cases like Graham’s disappearance, police are often hoping to reach as many potential witnesses and tipsters as possible, and the efforts of 20,000 avid Facebook users can only help get their message out. The last “major break” in the case, in fact, came from public tips: Multiple callers drew police to a condo, and a car, in an apartment complex off the U.Va. campus.

Top research institutions, like the University of Michigan and University of Virginia, also get revenue from endowments, research grants and teaching hospitals. But most students attend public schools where tuition and state funds pay for almost everything.In 1988, state legislatures gave their public colleges an average of $8,600 a student. Students contributed an add...
