problem by my elaborated more on what his proposal is for u_s_ colleges and
out you know and during his state of the union speech mentioned that he's
planning on making federal aid out of universities that fail to keep tuition
costs low
and i said well that's kind of counterproductive because part of the
reason why they're increasing tuition is because of the fact that that there is
less state funding for these institutions right so taking federal
funding away from these colleges as a disastrous idea now keep in mind that
when it comes to federal funding the institutions don't directly get the
money what happens is are they get federal money after the students so
students get grants and loans and those types of uh... that type of funding for
the federal government and then of course it goes to the institution anyway
he elaborate a little more on what he meant so i thought it was important to
mention it so he says for institutions they control cost the administration is
proposing to increase campus based eight to about ten million dollars a year up
from one billion dollars and the bulk of that money about eight billion would be
devoted to perkins loans for students and other aides said for workstudy
grants and supplemental education opportunity grants okay so this is
actually pretty good news uh... because he's basically saying we are planning on
giving these students morning out federal aid so they can come to your
schools and they can get an education decent education on he is also proposing
a fifty five million dollars are proposing fifty five million dollars for
each individual college
uh... that has an inducement to improve quality education
again they have to keep their tuition death but the most important part of the
story is that he's giving states an incentive to keep uh... funding the
schools right because the problem is that the states are defunding these
schools and he's basically offering one billion dollars to entice states to keep
costs down a public colleges
all right well you are the legendary a host of killers university bhandari
obviously our education specialist
heads uh... i will allow you to make that decision on this go to work that
still find something that i think we need a lot more elaboration
now there's a lot of concern about
universities increasing tuition if you give students more access to federal aid
however in this case the students are not going to get the federal aid if the
schools do not keep the tuition cost down that was all a very complicated
here's what i got out of it benefits us good wid blessed oklahoma okay go go go
but that is a simplified student and that is simplified
