I once had a neighbor who was an officer at a large bank. The state commissioned him and others to go audit the state university's finances. They were completely stonewalled even though the university is subject to sunshine laws and everything about the university should be public information. The audit group finally disbanded without even writing a report. And this was years ago.
It is way past time for state governments to crack down and get these schools under control. They always back down though, because they are accused of being anti-education.
It is a familiar tactic / strawman used against ANY time of reform. Want to reform drug laws then you are pro drugs. Want to reform entitlements and welfare, you hate the poor. Stand against abortion and you are anti women. The list goes on and its an effective tactic.
Everyone I know with a higher education degree got it off the backs of their rich parents. Few, especially if you arent from a favored class / race, are able to complete without that financial support. One of the many crimes of the student loan program are the women who suck up federal funds to get degree’s only to stay home. There should be a rule mandating 4 years of work for anyone receiving federal aid. If you fail to work, you must pay a portion back so those that actually want to learn and work can gain access. Why should we, as tax payers, fund the education of those who dont want to use it.
