Gainful Employment Rule

Q1 – Understand the purpose of employment regulation and the way it is enforced in practice.

The Morrill Act of 1862 and 1890 was the beginning of American Public Education. This trend was designed to provide equal opportunity to the different socioeconomic groups. After World War II and the establishment of Higher Education Act of 1965, the primary goal of equalizing educational opportunity to

     Finally, a college student is a consumer with a demand for a product, an education. The teachers are the producers. Who wants to pay thousands of dollars for something, and then be regulated on when, how, and where to get it? Nobody. Which is probably why Texas Tech has a freshman dropout rate of 21% for the Fall 1999 semester according to Roger Terry, an author of the "Fall 1999 Retention Summary" produced by the Texas Tech Institutional Research department. According to Mr. Terry, this dropout rate is one of the highest in the Big 12 Conference and is a problem over-looked by many school officials. It is true that in a job situation the

This means that in order to have a decent job, you usually need some type of degree or training beyond a high school education. Unfortunately, in years to come, this trend toward for-profit colleges could devastate our nation’s economy. The student loan debt in the US is roughly equal to the amount of US credit card debt, they is a frightening fact because for-profit student are more likely to default on their loans (they make up 44% of all student debt defaults), which could burst our student debt bubble. This would have devastating consequences for our government, tax payers, and possibly even the global economy. If our student debt bubble were to burst, like the housing bubble back in 2007-2009, it would have the potential to plunge us into another Great Depression. That, is

Naturally many take out student loans to help pay for this huge expense. In fact, there are many horror stories of forceful recruiters’ convincing students to take out huge loans for worthless degrees, only to end up in debt. This is sadly true, many today are still struggling to pay off the loans that they received decades ago. As a result, the Obama administration has ideas to stop providing federal aid to for-profit colleges that give students lots of debt. These for-profit colleges have taken away the real purpose of going to

In case, you are not aware, for-profit tuition is much higher than that of public institutions, and for profits receive a quarter of all federal aid while only enrolling 10 percent of all students (216). The real problem is that students of the much more expensive for-profit institutions tend to borrow a lot more money than the students of public institutions do and are often unable to repay these loans upon graduating and entering the work force. In fact, most graduates of for-profit institutions are unable to even get a job with their freshly awarded on line diplomas and therefore default on their federally subsidized student loans due to lack of income. Clifford refutes indications that the excessive amount of student debt is directly related to the cost of education, and therefore, disapproves of the Obama administration’s proposal to disallow further federal aid to any student who has exceeded a certain percentage of debt in relation to income. In spite of statistics that predict more than half of his students’ loans will enter default, he simply does not feel that it is the responsibility of

Regarding the man taking orders and flipping burgers, his name is Tim. Tim was a hardworking student, but he had average grades so he was not given any scholarships. Tim was from a poor family, so his parents could not afford to send him to college. Had Tim been able to go to public college for free he would have had a better chance at a good job and a productive life. Cases like Tim’s are becoming more and more recurring amongst America’s youth. With a degree Tim would have a better chance to get a good job to provide for him and one day maybe even a family. According to college

Making College More Expensive The Unintended Consequences of Federal Tuition Aid by Gary Wolfram In the article Wolfram communicates that the federal government is spending tens of billions of dollars in providing federal aid to student that are in college, through many actions like grants, loans and tax programs. But there is still yet to be evidence that suggest that these so called programs or policies have helped to decrease student loan debt and provided an aid to those attending college. Wolfram mentions that the federal government this year has purposed that federal tuition aid on college cost will undergo a phase where federal assistance will slowly die down. Wolfram states that the federal government will try to create a legal structure

Thank you very much for the time you will give out of your day, in reading this letter I have prepared for you. Being a member of the president’s cabinet is not an easy partaking, and let me start by thanking you personally, for your part in securing congressional support

Wanting college to be cheaper is not a new idea. However, over the past couple of years, the conservation regarding the expensiveness of colleges, has slowly turned into a debate. The media aggregates this topic and it is no longer just an opinion. Now it is a political, economic, and social justice issue. For instance, the Democratic and Republican parties include the state of higher education in their political agenda. The Obama administration made it exceptionally clear that community college should be free, and at all costs. The Trump administration has swung the pendulum the other direction, under President Trump’s lead. Citing Rules Committee Print 115 Congress has increased the Pell Grant amount by $105 and reinstated summer Pell Grants. Yet, the Trump administration has made it painstakingly clear no attempt to decrease the expensiveness of college will be made any further. Even though Pell Grant amounts are at an all-time high, more support needs to be given to students. Ultimately the best thing schools, states, and the federal government could do to help students locked out of the middle class is to make public college tuition-free.

Over his time as President, Barack Obama has changed the student loan experience tremendously. A new law passed in the same legislation that passed Obamacare allowed the Department of Education to be a direct lender of student loans and eliminated the subsidy program, where the government would hand out subsidies to banks, like Bank of America, who would then grant student loans (Altman, Edwards, & Thompson, 2015). In simpler terms, the government cut out the middle man. While the general public did not see these changes as dramatic, the Department of Education now had the power to make a new rule book for student loans; they had the power to decide how loans are disbursed, repaid, and forgiven, without passing laws through Congress (Altman,

1. Matt Taibbi argues in his Rolling Stone article “Ripping Off America: The College-Loan Scandal” that the government, colleges and universities, are all perpetuating this scandal of ripping off unknowing students. He states that students have essentially been backed into a corner because any good paying job requires a 4

According to an article in (USA Today), in 2013, the government’s profit from student loans was $41.3 billion: It was $49.9 billion in the previous years. But should the government
