Funny. Generally speaking the “for-profit” universities cater to working people who are earning their degree while holding a job. I don’t see how they can skew the benefits towards their fuzzy campus friends without running into anti-trust issues. Maybe someone knows how a Govt run lending program can discriminate. Oh yea, CRA, I forgot.
What utter bullsh#t...
The reason college cost are, and have been out of control since the 80’s is the lack of fiscal discipline. Outrageous and ever increasing Union/Prof. payrolls and benefits that no Democrat dares to address.
“For Profit” is just an easily demonized boogeyman for these people.
University of Phoenix is the biggest scam going, unless you work in a public sector job that only checks a box on a form saying you’ve gone to an “accredited” school and can thereby be promoted, there is no reason to go here. I can’t think of any private sector company that looks at these degrees as having value.
Why don’t they go after the likes of Harvard first.
How this guy can wax indignant over for-profit colleges while ignoring the astronomical cost, waste, and worthless degree programs all funded by tax dollars in the non-profit education world is almost unbelievable.
They have no intent of control rising tuitions. They just want complete control over what a school teaches & to whom.
State-run universities & colleges are also facing rising tuition.
When a student attends the University of Wisconsin, for example, the cost of having that student there is NOT carried by the tuition. The state of Wisconsin taxpayers also are putting a large amount of the cost into the pot.
It would behoove the schools to put out some of the figures that show how much the TAXPAYERS & the ALUMNI support keeping things going.
Students have thought for years that they “DESERVE” a FREE EDUCATION—for as many years as they decide to hide from actually having to work. Into their 30’s & 40’s if they want.
A couple of weeks ago, when students in San Francisco were protesting the rising costs of running the colleges—protestors were shouting that they had a RIGHT to a FREE EDUCATION-—into college & forever.
Free books- Free tuition—Free dormitories—Free everything.
BTW- The bullhorn shouter sure looked like she was Hispanic- wonder if she was even here legally? Knowing how San Fran views thing- I will bet that she was not legal.
Hillsdale College is looking better & better. They refuse entrance to anyone holding any kind of Federal grant. They refuse to take a single dime of Federal funds for anything.
They have alumni funds & other sources for deserving students.
he doesn’t want students to have other options than obamaed
