Recommending that a loan program with a 30% delinquency rate be expanded is something government bureaucrats do when it's not their money on the line.

Since blacks are no longer excluded from any college, why should there be any government programs targeted to HBCUs? They should be eligible for the federal programs other schools are.

Evidently there aren’t enough young black people burying themselves in student loan debt for worthless degrees to satisfy demand.

This attitude towards loans for the “disadvantaged” is the same reason we had an affirmative action president.

[Starboard]

the Government Accountability Office says the U.S. Department of Education should more aggressively encourage HBCUs to participate in the program

Its not the GAO’s job to be pushing its own proposed “solutions”. They are supposed to be a watchdog that objectively evaluates performance and ensures accountability. They shouldn’t be telling congress WHAT do to about it.

Another debt and printed-money based welfare program

If you got ‘em, smoke ‘em.

Why are we still supporting segregated colleges?

[A_perfect_lady]

Years of underinvestment by states and the federal government, as well as small endowments and low alumni giving rates, have made capital investments, like building repairs, difficult for HBCUs.

Cough, cough

Welfare disguised as a loan, plain and simple.

[JimRed]

The 30% figure is less meaningful because we don’t know the overall delinquency rate. It could be 28% (statistical tie) or something way less.
