It's not 'gouging' when there are alternatives to choose from and
vendors can compete on price.

Gouging can only happen when you have a near monopoly and people
can't choose.

So if you don't want to pay more, and you think it's a good course,
take that one.

If Harvard believe that their course is worth $1600 - then fine - people
will either agree with them - or not.  If they were wrong then they
won't get enough students and the course will fail (or it'll be a lot
cheaper next time around!)  If they were right and people flock to the
course in droves - then that truly *was* the value of the course and
there was nothing wrong with them charging whatever it's worth.

In the end, things are worth what people will pay for them.
