Right.... the only good news is that they are asking the schools for the money at this point, not the taxpayers. Having the school being liable for graduating students who cannot find employment in their field would accomplish two things:
(1) Schools would stop offering majors with high rates of refunds, and
(2) Schools would stop accepting students whose success they have low confidence in.
This would cause screams of racism and sexism, though.

I thought all these students were getting their liberal arts degrees so they would qualify to be Baristas at Starbucks and Petes.
What happened?
Did Starbucks stop hiring college grads?

I think it is a great idea!
As long as the student returns any and everything they learned, experienced and screwed while in college and those accompanying memories are wiped out of their brain.

...thousands more liberal arts graduates who have zero job prospects... Sometimes this is true, but other times not. It depends very much on the liberal arts grad in question, and how much he is willing to pound the pavement. Liberal arts grads can make pretty good managers, once they've worked their way up from the mailroom.

It appears the original content on Zero Hedge doesn't realize the WH petition is a crank. So, I wouldn't get too worked up over the OP not knowing either. You actually have to read the petition to find the IowaHawk reference.

May have to do with their choice of majors.

Until my health went south I NEVER had a problem finding a good job, no matter where I lived and my degree is very much not from an Ivy League school. Is everyone today a whiner?
Same here. And I'm looking at getting a medical coding certificate so I can work even with my health going south. The clinics around here are always advertising for coders, and some even say they'll let you telecommute.
But, in every job I've ever had, there were always waaaayy too many people whining about being expected to work.

What are they going to do if he doesn't cough up the money?
Reelect him to a third term?
