<>Should Universal Service subsidies extend to groups which provide
educational materials or support for educational organizations, such as
universities and colleges or community centers?

Absolutely not.  Before we pursued this path very far we would be
destroying competition and the private economy by selective subsidies.
The subsidies would also have become so prevalent as to be totally
unaffordable (or insignificant since all list prices would rise to
provide the universal discounts.)
