The end of NWO indoctrination programs.
Excellent and needed. I can here the screams of racism now, but Trump should stand firm on this.
I think most deans would like to fix the system, but it’s grown to such a problem and with so many problems....it’s considered unfixable. It’s like talking about tenure. No dean in the US can remake the tenure process. Go talk about the ratio of professors to actual college employees. Go talk about the power of the NCAA over the method that the college operates under.
ALLOW COLLEGE DEBT TO BE DISCHARGED IN BANKRUPTCY.
Have no federal guarantees for student debt.
And watch college tuition drop like a stone.
I love it. Trump can’t discuss all the areas he intends to address, but this indicates he’s planning on sweeping changes to bring public policy back in balance regarding education.
What about ending government scholarships for illegals and foreign students? That should be done by private organizations also.
Get some of the useless blood-sucking lefties off the college payroll, and a degree would be cheaper AND useful.
The Dems want the taxpayers to pay off everyone’s student loan, but not make any changes to the system that caused the problem in the first place.
Trump is aiming at the root cause of the college loan crisis—he wants to fix what caused the problem.
If you want to sum up the core difference between Trump and left, there it is.
I would go one further on this. Colleges must prove that the degrees they are offering:
1.) That there is a real quantitative demand for these degrees
2.) That the graduate can actually make a living off of this degree.
No more degrees for “Transgendered Eskimo Feminist Vegetarian Studies”
The schools will do the firing
Donald will say “you’re unfunded”
Good the govt has no business controlling student loans.
Go Trump ! Time to re do the whole govt.
IIRC, school loan funding in the 60’s and 70’s was via the 1958 National Defense Education Act. You had to be pursuing a technical education that had a defense and therefore National Security benefit. That was the basis of the Constitutional authority for the Feds to be spending taxpayer money on education. Liberal Arts was not part of it. Not sure of the Constitutional basis for the current scheme and I doubt there is one.
Government needs to interfere with everything.
Though Donald Trump has his shortcomings, upsetting the liberal/Leftist applecart isn’t one of them. This man is a blessing bestowed on this country by G-d, and we should be thankful.
Think of the literally hundreds of billions of dollars WASTED on “education” for people who never had a chance to get a job that would allow the repayment of their loans. Think of the literally millions of people EACH YEAR who are brain-washed into believing the liberal/Leftist claptrap spewed by anti-American professors intent on destroying the very system that provides for them to be well-paid leeches on society.
It is about time - thank you, Donald!
I’m still not convinced that many of the conservative ideas that Trump has proposed are things he is serious about, but if he can actually do this:
“A complete shift of the current federal student loan system to a market-based and market-driven system that would be run by private banks”
then he will have earned my vote ten times over.
Guaranteed loans to 18-year olds is why education costs at the college level has skyrocketed.
There is far more to Mr. Trump than most of us realized, and the majority of it is rock solid conservative in nature.
I have a crazy idea. How about the federal government get out of the college business completely except for West Point, The Naval Academy, The Air Force Academy, The Coast Guard Academy and the Merchant Marine Academy.
States run their Land Grant and State colleges as they see fit.
And the Private Colleges get to be..... Private. And if any lender deems a student a good risk to lend money to, they may or may not as they wish.
(No charge for my Solomon service today..... just sent fan mail)
Making colleges behave like they're in the real world? Unthinkable to academia. The wailing and gnashing of teeth will be audible all around the world.
Very good. He needs to address this issue.
It is very important to Millenial voters, and he appears
to be making headway with them.
At the end of the day it can’t beat the Democrats’ “we’ll make it all FREE” mantra. But he needs to compete.
