Yes, merit should be the deciding factor in such things. Especially in education. People go to Yale or Harvard or whatever because having that on their degree gets them better paying jobs. Unfortunately, these days it doesn't mean that they are better educated.

We need to consider that some of the people that go to this type of institutions go as a trust fund baby. This individuals just need to complete a degree and they'll have their future guaranteed. But there's a certain percentage of them that actually are productive. I do believe that you don't have to go to an institution of this qualifications to actually make it into the professional world.
