[quote=Anonymous]I think we all understand it's working for the schools. But why carry water for these schools? 
 
NPC, for example, was a small step forward. It was better for schools before -- when it was a total black box for consumers. This improved things.

Maybe you don't like the OP idea. But surely we could improve this somehow. Nearly all colleges get a lot of fed money and anything can be tied to that.

I'd like to see Pell expanded - by both who qualifies and the amount.

I'd like to see direct subsidized student loans bumped up to 10k per year and open to all.  Skip loan forgiveness, do this. Happy to cripple a big chunk of the private student loan business.

I'd like to see more data on admissions. I'd like to see lowest admitted test score/GPA by major. We're wasting kids time applying to programs they won't get admitted to.

We need a UCAS-style system not run by College Board.

Unpopular, but I personally dont think any for profit business can offer scholarships to kids for under 2500. There are too many business putting out feel good marketing materials with a single $500 scholarship attached. Kids waste so much time and effort and hope on dead ends.

And number one: We need to change rules about taxation on endowments.[/quote]
