You know, the students could just take more in loans, or get a part time job. Radical ideas, I admit!

A sharp student would figure out a way to turn the
loss of services to his/her advantage...

Here's a really rad idea--go to work first and earn some money, and save it for college. Don't buy idiot toys at Best Buy. Learn the value of a dollar and get a useful education they can appreciate--no "liberal arts majors" need apply.

I can only hope that was tongue in cheek because it makes no sense whatsoever.

The United States is quickly facing a massive problem in that higher education is ridiculously expensive. We really think we’re going to continue to churn out doctors who are 300k in debt and rising?

More loans? Seriously?

The question is 1) why are expenses rising so quickly in colleges across the country and 2) why aren’t unneeded departments being slashed?

It’s time universities quit spending so much money on buildings and pensions and stopped wasting so much money on grants in the form of financial aid and went on a bit of a diet.

Instead they just keep passing it along to the students.

It’s ultimately very unproductive.

Federal loans are a primary cause of high tuition costs, which have risen at four times the rate of inflation for more than 30 years. Rather than eliminating waste, colleges simply say to students. “Here’s what it costs and here’s how you can go into debt.”

They should just take more loans. By the time they come due the whole shootin match will have collapsed. Get any loan you can. You can pay it back with worthless Obamabucks.
