What Do Students Want to Know about President Obama’s Higher-Ed Agenda?
Posted by Macon Phillips on March 30, 2010 at 07:32 PM EDT
I wanted to point out something different we are trying out: an effort to connect with college newspapers across the country and get questions directly from students about the Obama Administration’s higher-ed agenda. Next week, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and the chair of the President’s Domestic Policy Council, will answer questions in a special live chat from the White House. We are working with the Huffington Post’s network of college newspapers on the first phase and they give a run-down on the next steps:
This is how it will work: Through our extensive network of college papers, students will submit questions to HuffPost College, which the entire HuffPost community will vote on.
The top questions will be asked during the live chat — and the editor of the school paper with the highest-rated question will be flown to the White House to interview top Obama officials.
This new type of interview process is exciting, but the real news is what happened today when President Obama signed the Healthcare and Education Reconciliation legislation. With the stroke of his pen, our Nation expanded the Pell Grant program, invested more in community colleges, increased support for minority serving institutions and ended wasteful subsidies in the student loan system that will free up nearly $68 billion dollars for college affordability and deficit reduction over the next 11 years. Whew!
Also, don’t miss this great video from Dr. Jill Biden, who gives a good overview of the policy impact of today and encourages parents to take note as they start planning now for a younger child’s higher education.
I know....but now that the GOVERNMENT CONTROLS who gets LOANS, the DEMOCRATS will INSIST that you MUST BE A DEMOCRAT TO GET THE MONEY TO GO TO COLLEGE!! NO CHRISTIANS NEED APPLY!
How many of these smart students voted for this commie? Those that did deserve what they get. No sympathy here.
I am sorry but I think that is a very short-sighted attitude...
There are many “smart kids” like my 3 who did not vote for him and don’t deserve this yet it may impact them. Many responsible middle class families who have had their careers, income, home values and other finances decimated in this economy and may not have the resources to send their kids to college—who did not vote for the dear leader and don’t deserve the socialism reigning down on them. It is hurting the entire country. We will all be paying for this as his policies impact everyone—even those not yet born.
Also, far fewer bumper stickers too. Only the hard core supporters still have them on around here!"
An Obamanoid bumper sticker I just put on my car : http://www.refusetocomply.com/gbook.php
The only schools approved for Obama Money will be those selected by the Unrepentant Terrorists, Bombers amd Murderers, William Ayers and his wife, Bernadette Dorn!
Look OUT! Kere it Comes!
When the government is on the hook for them, they are government loans, Alexander. Banks simply got a cut of the action.

Do You mean: “ Dr. Jill “BIDEN YOU!” BIDEN?”
The interest on those loans looked way too much like “free money”. Considering the Obama needs a huge influx of cash from nearly tapped-out taxpayers, that’s one of the few options left.
LMAO!!! Your probably right!
Up to now, 15 out of 19 million student loans were private loans, backed by the government,” Alexander says.

Seems the loans need only be paid back at 10% of one’s discretionary income, and then are forgiven at 20 years.

-———————————————Absolutely!!!!
Bingo! We have a winner!!
That’s is what it should be. However now that money will be needed to fund deathcare watch the rates go up.
Obama is truly a dusgusting pofs. Words fail me lately for what I feel about him and the democrat communists who voted for and cheer him on
FUBO!!!!!!
Believe me I understand that he wants to take over everything and everything involved with healthcare bill.
I was just asking if the Gov was going to charge a higher interest rates than is currently being charged.
You should cut back on the coffee a bit.
6.8 % interest rate ? I thought student loans were currently at about 3 or 4%
I guess she is part of this socialist charade. Thee Biden who uses Joe’s office for her non profit business paid for by taxpayers. That Jill Biden.
