So here is a proposal: Hundreds of millions could be saved, with no cost to any institution's core educational mission, by eliminating every position whose title contains the word sustainability - and, while we are at it, diversity, multicultural, or inclusivity. The result would be higher education higher than the propaganda-saturated version we have, and more sustainable."

Only way to cut college costs is by discontinuing government backing of student loans and making them immune from bankruptcy laws....anything else is window dressing.

Instead all I get is reptile hackery.
WTF remember when Will was actually pretty good?

Date: April 20th, 2015 4:20 PM Author: Spruce Nudist Nursing Home it wouldn't do anything. here's the student loan cure:
1. make existing loans dischargeable in bankruptcy after 5 years or so.
2. revoke federal backing for loans; make available some academic scholarships instead.
3. implement clawback provisions against the endowments/bank accounts of schools whose students go bankrupt.
problem solved. and collateral problems like useless admin layers would solve themselves from lack of funding. |

can you explicate on this for a non-lolyer. i'd be interested in having this sort of information at the ready for any IRL conversations on the issue of college costs/student lending. |

Date: April 22nd, 2015 4:24 AM Author: Spruce Nudist Nursing Home right now, a student default has no direct financial consequences for a university. that shouldn't be the case - if you take a kid's loan money for "tuition" then churn out a grad who can't get a job and who goes bankrupt, that loan debt should fall back on your institution.

You can't just wander into a university in Germany the way you can in America with a checkbook. You have to be certified for higher study. In America, the decision to admit a student is totally at the school's discretion.
