The student loan program is also directly responsible for the constant increases in tuition costs. It is also directly responsible for the obscene bloat in useless and/or culturally destructive course offerings such as the entire “studies” system of indoctrination.
Big opportunity for Trump to reduce the cost of school and introduce anti-fascism reforms at the same time.
Enslave and indoctrinate. Quite the racket.
Socialism Is Legal Plunder - Bastiat
In 1966 I attended Northeast Louisiana State University in Monroe, Louisiana, now called University of Louisiana Monroe.
In 1966 the administration occupied one wing of the Chemistry Department with about 20 or 30 offices. The student population was 7000. In 1985 when I went back for a second degree the student population was about 12000. The administration had its own building of three stories and was easily 10 times greater than in 1966.
My tuition at a large state supported college in 1975 was $460.00 per semester, for a full load of freshman Engineering courses. I never thought to ask for loans - didn’t need them.
Haven’t checked, but I’ll bet it’s more than 10x that amount today.
It had more than doubled by my senior year.
