I just want colleges to come clean on where the money is going. It's getting so that most people can't afford college even though thousands of our tax dollars are going into them like a bottomless pit.
I have the opinion that for most college is merely a money pit. I think this is born out by statistics and drop out rates. Learning today is viewed in a myopic fashion as if $$$ translates directly into knowledge. I think the best thing the government could do is require universal transfer and standardization of credits for all colleges small and large that receive federal funds. I also believe that establishing more online educational resources and making them available via libraries for self learning would be more helpful to those in lower income brackets than the fueling of skyrocketing tuiton costs. The choice should not be between being poor for a lifetime or taking on the yoke of a slave to get the degree you need to move up in life. Open source degrees and learning would benefit everyone throughout society. We have become too soft and dependent on being spoon fed and look too highly on those institutions of learning as if they are a source of some magical intellectual salvation. This myth like our myths concerning doctors and the government continue to keep us in chains and we pull like good chattel dancing and entertaining the kings.
