NPR quietly reported that the U.S. Department of Education is rolling out a new financial accountability test that is really simple and so common sense that one wonders why it was not always the case.
Here's the new "do no harm" test for American colleges: If an undergraduate program's graduates don't earn more than workers who did not go to college, that program will lose its federal student loan funding for those programs and degrees. The same rule will apply to graduate programs.
"If a program cannot show that it leaves its graduates financially better off than if they had never enrolled, it should not be underwritten by federal taxpayers," Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent said. It's so important that all of this wash of poison sloshing around in our culture has been underwritten by foolish spending of taxpayer money.

Since Democrats like to tell us that we should emulate Europe, I've been doing some reading about what European universities are like in comparison to ours.
From what I gather, European students are expected to have a major from day one, and expected to complete it in three years instead of four. They don't dilly-dally around with general studies stuff. That's undoubtedly one reason why they're able to keep it affordable. Students are also expected to be more self-driven and motivated in their studies. They have high dropout rates as a result of these factors. They can be very selective about which students are admitted, based on academic merit.
So what do you think, Democrats? Still want to make our system like Europe's?

Chinese universities require presenting a thesis as part of earning their equivalent of a BA degree. Doing it in Mandarin at midnight Pacific Time was what my daughter had to do, but that would not be necessary. :-)
