I’m a conservative Christian, but I agree with the DoE on this one. Too many private colleges are con artists pretending to be a college. They make wild promises to young students, sucker them in and then give them nothing worthwhile - just a mountain of debt.

A religious college accepting federal money and teaching secular subjects should face the same scrutiny that a non-religious college getting federal money gets.

Of course, a better solution would be to end federal student grants. Tuition would plummet to a manageable level within a few years, and no regulation would be needed...

Have you ever looked into a completely INDEPENDENT, NO GOVERNMENT AID, Christian College, with high academic standards and a 136 year history of providing excellent undergraduate education?

See Grove City College

Too true that there are worthless degrees from some of these private colleges. OTOH there are many worthless degrees from state colleges.

A religious college "accepts" fed money in the form of student grants and loans. However, when religious colleges face scrutiny, the scrutiny of the bureaucracy focuses on religious courses with the uppermost thought that they(the bureaucrats) MUST maintain separation of church and state.

I believe that even if all the religious based colleges refused fed. loans for students, they would still be singled out for egregious discrimination.

You’re neither Christian nor conservative if you see any role for Government here.
