WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama is bringing together university presidents from across the country together to exact commitments from each other to expand access to higher education.

No worries, the meeting is just to invite them to a flight on Air Force One.

Better access for blacks, poorer access for whites and asians.

...to expand access to higher education.

***
Translation, I suppose, is “lower the standards”.

Don’t see how they can lower them much more. I am truly astounded by how uninformed are most college students that I have met.

The only way to make a college education viable again is to RESTRICT access to higher education. Money would be much better spent on HS shop classes for training in the trades. It would probably cut down on behavior problems if students actually learned how to do something of immediate value in the workforce upon graduation.

The initiative to completely “nationalize” our post secondary educational system is underway, via :

1) no federal budget ( Obama can use money anyway he wants)

2) executive order

And Obama is laying the ground with them in this meeting, and he is laying down “the law.”

Impeachment SHOULD be immediate, swift, and without mercy.

Like the housing bubble that was created by pursuing the idea that EVERYONE should have the right to be a homeowner idot Obozo is selling the same approach for a college education.

Gee, I wonder who will get stuck with the bill? /s

You should make your kids pay their own way. It’ll teach them appreciation of the opportunities and frankly I am not going until I can foot my own bill.

Both of my boys are hard, blue collar workers like their dad (ust'a be .. I'm older, fatter, blinder and a few et cetera's)

Both of my girls are married working through the pitfalls of life, rearing husbands and children.

/8^)

None of my children ever expressed a desire to go to college, even a Christian school.

They couldn't WAIT to get out and 'do life'

To the outsider, we struggle, to us, we're content.

PS ... welcome to FreeRepublic.

[CorporateStepsister]

Rearing husbands is difficult.

Thank you.
