Here’s a piece by the president of Bellarmine College, pleading for more government money for students. It’s based on the false statistics Obama uses to try proving that we badly need to get lots more people through college. Those statistics about “the fastest growing jobs” are deceptive, as I showed here.

It would be nice if once, just once, some higher-ed official said, “We process lots of kids through who learn very little. We slap degrees on them and then they go out and get jobs as bartenders, theater ushers, or aerobics instructors. Instead of trying to put still more through college, we ought to do a better job educating the ones who actually have some academic ability.”
