    At Purdue University, nearly 60 percent of undergrads leave school without any debt. Andrew Ferguson reports on how the university’s president, Mitch Daniels, has kept tuition under $10,000 for seven straight years.http://on.theatln.tc/lzzuthO

        The Atlantic article is worth a read. It's fine to talk about forgiving tuition debt but that's not the core issue: A college education has just gotten way too expensive. There has been no correlation between the inflation rate over the last 50 yrs and what college costs today.

        #universities should be treated like #corporations...legislate and regulate them to meet the needs of #society while allowing them to profit competitively (academically and althetics) a billion dollar industry shouldnt be able to create indentured servants with the #government

        Thanks for sharing!!! I talked to some local students here and its pretty sweet if you’re from in-state. If you’re not..... tuition is a hefty 3-4x the price. this guy is super intelligent though, he spoke really well on a freakonomics podcast last yr

        Hitler's biography will read like a celebration of individual success, if you never present the other side. Which is what this article does.
