What about current students that need this aid? |
This is what Orban did in Hungary - take money from colleges and set up his own, to indoctrinate the students.

I live in a blue state and my representatives vote against him. WHAT DOES CALLING MY REPS DO?? |
Are you willfully obtuse or just never studied logic? Biden didn’t gut college programs. Harris didn’t talk about the evils of colleges like Vance did in an interview this week. You know, billionaires are a bigger threat to your livelihood than coastal elites.* *The felon is a coastal elite. |
A particular pattern I see in the reaction to all the Trump policies and EOs by the Democrats on this forum is the belief that somehow things can't possibly ever change. Right now higher education is facing serious problems, both with the enrollment cliff and the cost of higher education. It's not all due to just one or two factors but multiple factors converging to create the current situation. Among those factors was the arms race among higher education institutions with fancier facilities instead of more classes and bloated bureaucracy (far more bureaucrats/admin hired than faculty, for example), which added to the cost of tuition in ways that didn't meaningful benefit students. At the same time departments became flooded with courses like transqueer politics in Latin America. Fluffy degrees that meant little and accomplished little. By contrast your typical university model outside the US is much more bare bones, direct and also much cheaper. There's a lot of hunger out in the American population for change and Trump is delivering change and we'll see how it all plays out. Unfortunately for the Democrats, they were not sensitive to the hunger for change on the economy, on the border, on higher education, on DEI policies, all which became too ideologically important to the party and many of its followers that they just did not see a problem when most Americans, in fact, did see a problem. And Trump spoke to them and won. |
Every financial entity has a possible cost reduction. Most schools don’t need football, especially the schools where it doesn’t make money. Multiple rec centers? Nope. Climbing walls? Nope. Community college is inexpensive. Just build some dorms around them and charge the associated cost and you’ll have your model. I appreciate your post. It wasn’t low effort. But my opinion is colleges aren’t operating a bare bones, minimum staffing model. There is bloat, and it’s costing consumers money. |
Yup. Prepare for a widening income gap. Shocker when people elected a demented, vengeful billionaire who pandered to an electorate to do his dangerous bidding for the country instead of learning math. This is exactly why plantation owners didn’t want slaves getting an education. |
Well he did say Haitians were eating cats and dogs, so I would say that was your first clue that he lies out his @ss. If you don’t know he’s a liar, you’re not paying attention. Vance admitted he lied to get eyeballs on issues. |
Guess you're gonna have to go work and earn the money to pay the bill. What a novel idea! |
The salaries also. Pull the faculty out of lab work and back in to the class room to teach. No more paying for a professor and getting a TA. |
There is nothing too big or too small that he won't lie about if it gets him what he wants. He got enough of the right people to vote for him. Done. |
Orban is the felon’s role model. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/08/politics/trump-orban-mar-a-lago |
DP. He is cutting audio to community colleges as well. Positive change is possible, and I agree that Democrats ( leadership) were not interested in actually changing anything. But Trump is not the answer. I hope that when his term is over, his voters can recognize that and take another shot with someone else. |
It will decades to undo his sh!t. |
STFU. If you're in a red state, we are subsidizing YOU. If you collect medicare or Medicaid, have drawn on social security, use any single tax deduction on your annual tax form, took out a First Time Home Buyer loan, or used any number of other federally subsidized tax breaks, loans, or programs, you are siphoning of others. |
