Obama: College Students Shouldn’t ‘Silence’ Conservative Speakers

“Being recognized by the White House as an Engine of Opportunity affirms the University at Albany’s long history of providing high quality, affordable higher education to a diverse group of students“, said UAlbany President Robert J. Jones in a news release issued Wednesday. But any questions about the need to provide this information can be put to rest with its use the first four days after its launch: There were 3.7 million page views. The result is very different from the controversial rankings system Obama had originally anticipated instating in 2013.

After all, campus coddling favors liberals by insisting that nothing that so much as tarnishes the closed, American, college student mind with potential disagreement, and that anything that prevents a competing worldview to the progressive is systematically eliminated from public discourse, thus rendering every last rising adult a ward of the public university they pay thousands to for education. It is most commonly used by nearly all colleges and universities to verify if the student is eligible for the aid. He argues that focusing, for example, on average post-graduation salaries – without including per-capita, geographically corrected or major-specific data – risks missing out on the widespread benefits of a liberal education.

The highest graduation rate: University of Arizona, where 61 percent of full-time, first-time students graduate after six years.

President Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, the Vice President’s wife, will be traveling to Macomb Community College near Detroit on Wednesday to talk about investing in worker training and how it will boost the economy. While the online scorecard is not a ranking, the University of Virginia receives high marks.

Comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have also blasted oversensitivity of college students.

“It’s not just sometimes folks who are mad that colleges are too liberal that have a problem”, Obama said. “And college leaders and state policymakers who seek to improve institutions’ performance often lack reliable ways to determine how well their schools are serving students”.

Cost. The average cost you see for each school is only for students receiving financial aid. According to the government’s scorecard, Trinity is below average on graduation rate, retention and students paying down their debt. University administrators went into an uproar, and Congress opposed the plan, which would have required them to pass legislation.

The College Scorecard also includes a data site that allows users to view or even download the data upon which the profiles are built. The Davis standard holds that a single comment or thoughtless remark by a student does not equal harassment; harassment requires a pattern of objectively offensive behavior by one student that interferes with another student’s access to education.

In California, home of the largest higher education system in the nation, we’re ahead of the curve.

Molly Corbett Broad, president of the American Council on Education, acknowledged the interest in having accurate data about earnings for college graduates, but she said the revised scorecard still needs work.
