Comments on: MYDFL to Guv: Stop Draining Our Colleges and Universities http://mnpublius.com/2008/03/mydfl-to-guv-stop-draining-our-colleges-and-universities/ Tracking Minnesota Politics Since 2005 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 04:33:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: A Nony Moose http://mnpublius.com/2008/03/mydfl-to-guv-stop-draining-our-colleges-and-universities/#comment-16478 A Nony Moose Wed, 19 Mar 2008 21:08:57 +0000 http://mnpublius.com/2008/03/mydfl-to-guv-stop-draining-our-colleges-and-universities/#comment-16478 As you all know, the cost of higher education has been rising at a significantly higher rate than the rate of inflation over the last couple decades. Recent analysis suggests that the reason for this is the lack of accountability for higher education to control costs. They get so much money in the form of direct subsidies and low income student loans that they have no reason to control their costs. Maybe it's time to think about the alternatives to the way we've been doing things in the past? More money isn't the answer to everything - let there be accountability and an openness to change.

Representatives such as John Kline (CD-2) have been voting to cut students aid and voting against lowering interest rates for student borrowers since he's been in office. In order to allow more middle class and lower class students the opportunity to earn higher education, we must get people like John Kline out of office. Steve Sarvi is running against Kline and will work hard to allow more students to go to college, unlike Kline who has been standing in their way.
