We don't need no ejumakashun.

If you want to go after institutions of higher learning that saddle students with massive debt and don't send them off with the earning power they need to make the expense worth it, you could start with - oh, I don't know - every university in America.

But the Obama White House is not going to do that because public-sector universities are employment factories for union-affiliated professors and others who are part of the Democrat orbit. Now private-sector institutions are another matter entirely. Organizations like the University of Phoenix, DeVry University and ITT - Democrats hate them because they provide competition for government-controlled schools and they don't use union faculty. So the Department of Education is launching an all-out assault on these schools,http://www.politico.com/story/2014/03/barack-obama-education-for-profit-colleges-104661.html   (http://www.politico.com/story/2014/03/barack-obama-education-for-profit-colleges-104661.html)imposing new standards on them that threaten the ability of students to receive federal loans to enroll and take their courses.

This appears to be related thread (http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,132456.0.html). He's against private schools at every level, looks like, whether K-12 or university.
