Joe said...: They are vastly underestimating the insolvency of the current higher education system. The bottom line reality is that college certification is a fraud supported and sustained by the federal government, which has more to do with employing bureaucrats than in giving people a worthwhile education.; 7/23/12, 6:55 PM

Peter said...: It would be an excellent start if one-third of all colleges go out of business. Far too many people are going to college.; 7/23/12, 7:39 PM

Joe Schmoe said...: Since the study was conducted by Bain Capital, college administrators will likely not even read its findings, let alone consider its merits for even a millisecond. And they can get away with that, because no one in their own little fiefdoms will question them about it.

This from the party of empiricism and science!; 7/24/12, 9:06 AM
