Question: how do you make them stop when they hold all of the cards?because they charge what they charge because they can get it, right, mr. president.
Answer: well, when you look at public colleges and universities, part of what’s happened is state legislatures have dropped their support and so the universities, rather than thinking about how do we save money and do more with less, they just pass on automatically the costs to students. and we’ve got to put some pressure on state legislatures- if you are serious about training a great work force in your state, then you’ve got to invest in state universities and colleges and not just invest in prisons, which is part of what we did over a long period of time. but there’s no doubt that schools can do better. we know, because there are schools out there that are doing better. you know, i visited a school, central missouri university, where they’ve gotten arrangement with the local high schools, community colleges that allow young people to start accruing credits. by the time they get to school, not only are they graduating faster, debt-free, but they also have a job at the end of it. so we know that there are ways of doing this. what we need to do is just spread the word. and we want college presidents and we want, you know, board of trustees and stuff to be thinking about this. now, one last element to it. once we develop the rating systems, part of what we’re going to argue to congress is that we should tie in some way the way federal financial aid flows to schools that are doing really well on this, and not so much on schools that aren’t. so if a school has a higher default rate than it does a graduation rate, then we should give them a chance to improve, but ultimately we don’t want kids saddled with debt. we want them to actually get a degree and to be able to get a good job.
