In your first response to my comment you said: “Bob, Bill Gates was admitted and attended Harvard”.

The fact is Bill Gates attended Harvard but never graduated. He dropped out after his freshman year.

In case you aren’t aware, there’s a difference between attending college and graduating from college. After completing a BS in electrical engineering, I completed one semester towards a masters degree in mathematics. By you standard, I can claim to be a mathematician.

You miss his POINT-Without loans costs would NOT have gone up, they go up b/c of easy cheap money and the schools have no skin in the game, if they carried their own paper, or a portion of it, they would keep an eye on costs and whom they allowed to get an education on credit.

The real reason tuitions have risen so high so fast is indeed because of government policy – but not government policy to make student loans more available. It is the policies of governments that have slashed state support and federal grants for students and Universities. Costs have not risen, but tuition has gone up to make up for the decrease in support for higher education (which was once recognized as being good for the overall economy – and still is in may countries). With tuition so high students have no choice but to take out loans.

The logic of the PC crowd dictates that diversity run through everything we do, even worthless jobs and professions. 🙂
