" I have not yet seen anything to indicate that the implications of that have been considered beyond the cost of lost tuition money"

We'll have the mostly highly educated group of career professional students (unemployed people) in the history of the world, drinking government-provided coffee while waxing philosophically about the role of Issac Asimov in developing a mostly-jobless economy.

>> It's like folks think that the kids that benefit simply have their tuition paid and everything else stays the same.

I think you know my position on education in regard to student loans as well as transitioning online.

However, it has become really clear to me that the student loan program is keeping far more kids OUT of education than it is accommodating their needs. The NY arrangement sounds fraught with problems to me, but I'm not sure we're going to make it worse than it already is.
