He's a walking disaster:
Obama provided more details on his proposals for higher education, comprised of minor tokens, such as a tuition tax credit, and right-wing pro-business measures. The centerpiece is a plan to tie federal student aid to university tuition rates. “Let me put colleges and universities on notice: If you can’t stop tuition from going up, the funding you get from taxpayers will go down” Obama declared.
The thrust of the various proposals is to leverage meager federal assistance to universities and the states into a mechanism for pressing for school “reform” and cuts to programs and pay for faculty. One proposal, a $1 billion grant competition for the states, is called the “Race to the Top for college affordability and completion,” after the K-12 program by the same name that the administration has used to press for charter schools and attacks on teachers.
Watch them try to do away with tenure on the college level.
