Instead of finding new and elaborate ways to finance college for every single person, couldn’t we just find some way to craft a basic skills and intelligence test that wouldn’t be banned by the courts? A “functionally literate and numerate” certification? That used to be a high school diploma, but let’s be realistic and substitute something else.
They’ll find a way to ban it. This has happened in many cases.
How can colleges be short of money? My grand daughter applied to 4 colleges, each of which charged her a $50.00 application fee. If every person who applies to college does the same, and I assume they do, the colleges are getting tons of money from people who will not attend there.
Unsustainable models? Well, then get them to eat more.
