<p>I was curious, are there any colleges or schools that raise funds by making there school a stock available to the public to trade? If not, why don’t schools participate in being a stock that way they can raise funds for their school.</p>
<p>Well, the University of Phoenix does sell its stock. But, that’s a FOR PROFIT school. Most colleges are non-profit — not an attractive stock to sell to the public.</p>
<p>So that means, that if your non profit, you can’t have a stock? </p>
<p>Wouldn’t a school fund more money by having their own stock, which will benefit students who need aid, and also the school who will get campus improvements, more funds for research, etc?</p>
