Although there seems to be an Obama administration interest in free education however it would be the American taxpayer picking up the check for the tuition.
As I wrote earlier the $1 trillion student loan bubble is about to burst as the defaults increase.
My research indicates that enrollment at private colleges has fallen 9% which could put some of them out of business.
Another topic of interest is how remedial classes at colleges are increasing because unprepared students are admitted in order to fill the empty classrooms.
yes, the number of remedial and basic courses has increased (and eaten up most of the budget money that was promised to be to restore courses across the spectrum).
ALSO, many regular courses are slowed down and are unable to include as much material ...or, more often, are unable to cover it nearly as well...because of the extra time being consumed in “reviewing” or “preparing” students for lessons or readings they SHOULD be ready for, but are not... (in effect, remedial instruction is pushing into regular courses alot)
when you see a bunch of basic English 100 classes on offer in a college schedule... and no Shakespeare or Chaucer or Faulkner or Hemingway...and precious little advanced composition... you know the school is impacted with “remedial” students (people who shouldn’t be there)
