College has changed. From the administration standpoint it's all about selling tuition to as many as possible and getting govt. loans rates into the stratosphere.

The college, university gets paid even if the banks/ govt. do not.

From the college kids side they go blindly into a four year degree seeing dollar signs and when the tour is over they get a dose of reality.

Yeah, buddy. I work at Auburn University. No longer full time, but semi-retired.

Even though Auburn is a GREAT Southern university with a fairly conservative outlook, mostly due to a significantly conservative and rich alumni, it’s slowly turning toward the typical yout’ favored socialism.

We’re making BIG dollars recruiting Chinese students, and teaming up with a sister university in China. Big bucks there. Half the kids I see around campus are Chinese. Not Asian, but just one country—China.

But you know what is the funniest? The Chinese kids are more conservative than the ‘Mercan kids!

The FNS April 3 Transcript is available.

WALLACE: This may sound harsh, but are you in the process of blowing your campaign for president? ...

If you had purposely set out to turn off voters, especially women voters over the last two weeks, I'm not sure you could have done a better job. ...

You did something pretty remarkable. You offended both the pro-life and the pro-choice movements with one statement. ...

The growing knock on you, and you read everything, so you know this is what people are saying, is that you haven't thought these things through. You haven't studied, that you wing it too often. ...

So, what are you saying, you've still got a learning curve? ...

You talk about the fact that you've only been a politician for eight months, but there are other issues that you've gotten in trouble on in the last week or so that have more to do with just judgment and temperament. For instance, the fact that you spent days going after Ted Cruz's wife and her looks ...

So, you have no regrets about letting this [Fields/Lewandowski] thing go on for two weeks? ...

the idea is not to have a nuclear arms race in the Northern Pacific, on the Korean peninsula ... You want to throw that all away. ...

In South Carolina, it turns out, you took a pledge to support the nominee. If you break that pledge, then you lose all those delegates. So, are you going to keep the pledge or not? ...

After the last two weeks, after all of these controversies, and plans to change your campaign? Any plans to lay off the personal attacks? Any plans, maybe, to study some of these issues more?
