Not only defend the colleges but go after their billions in endowments to pay off student loans.

The schools should be liable totally. Then they won’t extend admissions to the unable. As they do now.

Fines penalties and tax fraud. Use their own weapons against them.

Baylor used to be conservative and Christian, but hasn’t been for a very long time.

Colleges are a waste of time and money. They are just a holding spot for post high school kids that parents don’t want to deal with anymore. They need to be reinvented.

My stupid son in law got a degree in Psychology (Liberalism 101), is $60k in debt and can’t get a job that pays more than his factory job. He now plans to divorce my daughter and file bankruptcy to get out of debt and start over. I hired the best divorce lawyer in the area for my daughter and now he is 3 CEU’s away from getting a degree from the school of hard knocks.

“go after their billions in endowments to pay off student loans.”

That is a great idea. It would be real justice.

I highly doubt it’s about loans. I believe it’s because they have been indoctrinated with a hopeless/negative outlook for America and their own lost future. Plus, their phones have turned them into zombies who only read the negative crap from the MSM.”

Loans do play a part, but you make a very good point. When I was a child, we said the Pledge of Allegiance, to an actual flag in the classroom, every morning.

It’s certainly not like that today. Instead, we have a mess of negativity; no wonder young people are postponing marriage and children.

Thanks for your reply, Navy Vet. And thanks for your service!

Julie

IIRC, student loans are exempt from bankruptcy protection. Or cancellation/forbearance/forgiveness, whatever the term is. In other words, you can declare bankruptcy but you still have to pay your student loans.

So I hope most of your son’s debt is credit cards or what have you, if the bankruptcy laws won’t fully protect him.

Require Universities to assume all existing and future student loans as a condition of receiving any federal grants or contracts.

He can’t have his student loan discharged in bankruptcy, in my understanding.

He can have the rest done.

Sadly, I, too have an ex-girlfriend who told me she got her advanced degree in Psychology because “she wanted to figure me out.” She was truly wacko. All our common friends told me from early on I shouldn’t be with her and I unfortunately thought I could help her.

Why take down college athletics? What are you a commie?

We are trying to save the Republic. Does that sound communist?

The colleges and the NCAA are allowing so-called students to graduate college and they can't put a coherent sentence together. All for profit. The original intent of athletics has been corrupted from our need to be entertained.

Now they are discussing paying the athletes. When the universities make so much money off of athletics, they can continue to jam socialism down our throats, making it impossible to bring back a Constitutional Republic. So, yeah, it's a big deal.

If they want to continue, form CLUBS off campus so they get paid and universities can return to education. It's a simple, capitalistic remedy.

I said “to some extent” I like “totally” like you said better.
I don’t know why I said that.
