[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]

They can make a law for accreditation itself.  That's why they are called law makers.
You need all sorts of approvals even for opening and maintaining a small restaurant, but you think colleges can just get away just because they are private??  :lol:

The bill is actually called 'MERIT Act' = 'Merit-Based Educational Reforms and Institutional Transparency Act'
I like it.
