[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pell Grants lack any power as they pay for so little --- it has only an impact in colleges that are open enrollment (like Maryland's community colleges and open enrollment schools were almost all applicants are taken) -- so very little power there.

No research funding does not make any sense -- as the college professors that go get research dollars for universities make money for colleges not lose it.  I heard that UMCP lost a non-trivial amount of their Computer Science professors to Johns Hopkins as Hopkins (which is private and can not dip into tax payers' money -  offered a compensation package that Computer Science professor would get their salary and split the research dollars that they got.  (So a three million dollar get would pay for the expenses first - salaries/benefits of professor and staff/gradute students. rent, equipment, etc. and the profit was then split between Hopkins and the professors and with a three million get, there are lots of expenses, but both Hopkins and each former UMCP Computer Science professor got hundreds of thousands of dollars--- Win for Hopkins - Win for the professors - Loss of UMCP in lost research grants --- so there is no power there.

No accreditation - this does not make sense as accreditation of universities is not by the state or the Federal Government BUT by a private, regional accreditation council -- so there is no power there.[/quote]

We'll have laws.
Again they are still free to do whatever they want. Colleges will do whatever is best for them.
They can still get research funding from private sectors, but not from government related.  
We'll see.  [/quote]
