Obama Pitches Federal Plan To Name And Shame Colleges Over Costs

Saying the rising costs of college are punishing students who have played by the rules, President Obama on Thursday announced that the federal government will take a broader role in pushing schools to lower costs by rating schools based on their educational value, and in trying to tie taxpayer money to school performance.

Mr. Obama, speaking at the State University of New York at Buffalo, said he would cap student loan repayments at 10 percent of future paychecks but also would take steps to discipline students who are attending school on federal grants by doling out the money in chunks to make sure they stay in school.

Well isn't that special...

You can't be expected to know how to spend the money you borrow so we'll dole it out to you like an allowance.

Need a new book for a new project? Just fill in a form and the money will be on its way...eventually. Unless you're studying something that's out of favor with the regime...like the Constitution.

Dear students, since you couldn't cut the mustard under NCLB, we'll put more water in the common core soup; that way you can pass something, even if it's just digested gruel!
