[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] They take Federal dollars, and therefore the public (whose dollars they are receiving) should have some input into their admissions process and criteria.[/quote] Sigh... the old "federal dollars" canard. They deliver services for what they get (research, educations, etc.), they are not on the federal dole. Your argument is invalid.[/quote] Colleges get free labor via the federal work study program. Kids get jobs, government pays, college gets no cost workers. Colleges also count those funds as part of any financial aid package they offer. It would be far more efficient just to give students the funds via a federal grant. [/quote] And they deliver educations in return for it. And it greatly benefits the student. Ya wanna criticize the work study program, fine go ahead, but the idea that participation requires a college to admit people based on criteria YOU select -- well that's just crazy.[/quote]
