Could not agree more. Again, from Mike Allen's morning newsletter. ------------------------------------------ BATEMAN: The wrong college ratings. "At a time when the cost of college is soaring and millions of Americans are being shut out of higher education, a government-approved list of colleges that offer students more bang for their buck might sound like a good idea. But it's not. The ratings, proposed by President Obama in August, would evaluate schools based on criteria including tuition levels, graduation rates, how many students receive Pell grants and how much money recent graduates earn. The problem is, the program won't just shape the choices students make; it will create potentially perverse incentives for the schools themselves." Bradley W. Bateman in The New York Times.
