Like or not, colleges do operate like any other entity in the market economy. They may have lofty ideals and goals, but they have to pay the bills, just like the rest of us. Thanks, Nnamdi.

I can't see many other reasons for why they would want to increase the student body. Money is the obvious reason. Even if we assume that it's not directly because they want to make more money, the fact is, MIT will rake in some more if they increase admissions. So either way, they are banking some dough.
