Quote:Do you need your server at the Ale House to have a college degree from Phoenix Online paid for with financial aid and student loans?

 

I would rather have a university system with the highest standards in the world graduating students with marketable skills in their career fields, rather than creating more universities in the bottom tier producing more college graduates.  

 

There has been huge growth in the private for profit colleges and former junior colleges issuing 4 year degrees in the last 4 years.  What market need are these institutions serving other than taking advantage of government programs in order to grow and/or profit from students public universities would not admit? 

So who decides who, among those wanting an education, actually gets to learn? Perhaps that server wants to work on servers as a career?

 

When did education become a privilege? Learning should be celebrated not vilified, a very common trend I have been seeing lately. 

 

I agree with you on the for profit colleges. They are a microcosm of everything wrong with putting profit above all else.
