More federal money is needed to help low-income students attend college says a report by the national commission on higher education.
The recent the commission says - colleges are too inefficient.
The federal financial aid system is "increasingly dysfunctional, inefficient and inadequate."
AND...
Colleges and universitie "have shown little inclination to cut costs and improve their productivity."
The report calls for public universities to measure what students learn.
Gee...you mean they don't? No, they don't.
The colleges, for their part, don't want to be thought of as administerying a fourth grade test along the lines of "No Child Left Behind."
Chances are some college students wouldn't pass the test.
The commission is calling for changes as early as September.
Many public higher ed schools do NOT meet student needs, do not teach and do not want to be accountable.
Fopros must meet needs, must teach and are accountable by the month.
Changes are needed in the non-profit schools.
What do you think?

This may explain why I have a friend who is in her 4th or 5th year or college (@SJSU) and still hasn't even got an associates or anything for that matter. Or maybe its that she's about as sharp as a marble.
In any case, they should be able to test their students to see if they are being effective. That would make a big difference in theire efficiency.
