Hope some freepers bought the tickets for the speech today that were on craigslist.org. Could be fun.

This will amount to nothing more than the same program he has for everything. Destroy it and in the process redistribute wealth to His people and screw over YT and the middle class.
Also all perversion will be glorified and all related to a Judeo-Christian heritage is to be mocked or outlawed.
What could go wrong?

Let’s take a system we can’t control and introduce crony favoritism!

That’s the ticket!

Wonder how Hillsdale will rate?

Betcha colleges with fully inclusive coed dorm rooms and special facilities for transgenders will be at the top of the heap.

Perhaps Mr. Obama could release his college records so that we can see how those institutions graded the smartest man in the world.

I mean, he is the standard for all things, right?

Once again, now that another industry or part of society is hooked on Federal Aid, it finds itself having to dance to manufactured, political “metrics” on performance to keep the dope coming.

Want to reduce college expenses? Cut all Government aid to students and universities.

They will need to cut-back, rationalize, and focus on their core mission just like every other industry

Mr. Obama has said that making college affordable is a “personal mission,” as he’s pledged to shake up the current system

What has he done about this in the last 5 years? Nothing. Will be do anything that actually reduces the amount of money colleges extract from students? No.

Some mission.

Syria? Egypt? Unemployment? Federal Budget Crisis? Immigration? IRS? NSA Leaks?

There’s no problem too big to run away from, eh?

The plan is expected to spur pushback from some colleges.

How will this affect predominately black colleges?

Now if we could get the prez’s institutional performance tied to true votes and the public’s desire to stop this socialism.

This new “rating” crap is a ploy to tie the academia even closer to the purse strings.... and of course.. the bs lies of .. him. Socialism writ large.

Net result: Tuition rates will go up even faster.

It's just the way things work in the world that Obama has created for us.

Maybe Obama can reuse Homeland's color-coded system for colleges. Most universities can start out as Orange and move to Green or Red as they donate to Democrats and hire union workers.

“...and eventually tying federal student aid to institutions’ performance...”

“Performance”, in this case meaning blind, unthinking support for the radical Democrat agenda. Likely meaning a headcount of radical leftist professors and administrators to determine funding. As well as funneling (kickbacks) a large percentage of those federal funds to Democrat candidates; and sponsoring Democrat only absentee voting campaigns among students, in which they sign filled out absentee ballots if they want to pass classes.

And awarding degrees solely based on political association.

Schools must censor all other forms of political speech, and suspend or expel students that resist mandatory political indoctrination. Beyond that, student grades will be determined by race, religion, gender, sexuality, etc.

An LGBT Muslim, illegal alien, racial minority indeterminate gender, will automatically be given straight A’s, which can only be lowered if they cannot accurately parrot leftist dialectic.

Whereas white or Asian Christian male heterosexual students will automatically be given straight F’s, unless they can satisfactorily self-criticize, parrot leftist dialectic, and give large campaign donations to Democrats.

This is a classic, top-down, one-size-fits-all approach to a problem that government helped create (in this case by via selective subsidies and below-market-interest loans).

The purpose of a governmental plan such as this is not to promote quality but instead, to exercise control.

Countless natural variations occur in populations, and these are reflected in college admissions in such areas as access, affordability, and educational outcomes.

To selectively punish or reward schools by means of arbitrary Federal Standards is a mirror of the government's approach to industry on the whole, the results of which may be found in the present conditions of high unemployment, low competitiveness, and regulatory paralysis.

But none of that matters to a great number of Americans who, having been uniformly trained by our government-run education mills to ignore logic, reason, and history, now expect every problem to be solved by the beneficent powers in Washington.

By the way: does Barack Obama even remember what the inside of the White House looks like? When was he last there? January?
