thanks for the detailed explanation...

just some side question...if a non-profit organization "loves your money" (which I would interpret as motivated by your money [at least partially]), would that make it not so much a non-profit organization? If that is the case, would this kind of "love your money" behavior exhibited by a non-profit organization make that organization less trustworthy to you?

Or perhaps we could further refine that "love for money" as "beyond necessity" and "within necessity"...but the problem is very difficult for an external observer to tell where the boundary lies for a particular entity -- although that boundary does exist in many cases...

I am not sure about the accurate data, but I feel most universities here in the United States are non-profit organizations (i.e. created not with the goal of distributing excess revenue to members or leaders).

If it is the demand drives up the tuition cost for those non-profit universities, then why not build some for-profit universities here to cater the additional demand?(such as Trump University, or University of Phoenix)

Is anyone here familiar with this situation in mainland China?

Will it effectively widen the cognitive gap between people living there and the rest of the world? How many people in the country will take it to the street to protest against this administrative policy?
