The frickin givt showering everybody with loans is why the colleges are so frickin expensive now.
A govt rating system won't be about excellence. It'll be whether the let transgenders pick their bathroom and how many quotas are on campus and probably everything but whether or not anybody learns anything useful.

So no loans for any private programs for health professions?
No federal loans. You would be free to get a loan from a private bank at an appropriate interest rate. Costs would go down over time and the compensation market would adjust accordingly.

This isn't about students... it's about cherry-picking which institutions receive the most federal grant money.
Next they'll say that the ratings system also assigns higher scores to schools that graduate higher percentages of minorities and women.

The problem is acute, they insist: At too many schools, tuition is going up, graduation rates are going down, and students are leaving with enormous debt and little hope of high-paying jobs.
Every one of these problems is a direct result of government interference at various parts of the education process.
And they want to help fix it with more government interference.
Brilliant!!!

Revenue for many of these schools are completely tuition driven. They will simply shut down, and the private clinics that they typically sponsor them for free ( because it is mission-driven) will then charge significant amounts of money to permit clinical rotations, thereby increasing public university tuition for these programs to a extent in which those administrators would likely consider dropping those programs all together.

The rating system is in fact a radical new effort by the federal government to hold America’s 7,000 colleges and universities accountable by injecting the executive branch into the business of helping prospective students weigh collegiate pros and cons.

That is the conundrum. How does one create a system that would allow SUNO to remain viable?

If this goes through, it should definitely be called "No College Left Behind."

Bring on the sledgehammer!

I think the unneeded Dept. of Education is looking for another unneeded program to help boost their reason to exist.

We support government rating elementary and secondary schools. What's the big deal?

Grade inflation and cheating, for starters.

Most of the academic community will find a way to support this.
