Shikha Dalmia On Obama’s Phony College Rating Plan

University presidents are
deeply disturbed that not only is President Obama not backing off
from his proposal to create a federal scorecard to rate colleges,
but one of his deputies actually said that this was no more
difficult than “rating a blender.” Educating young minds is a such

appliances  isn’t just vulgar—it’s blasphemous.

But, notes Reason Foundation Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia, the
tears of university presidents are the only good thing that’ll come
out of the proposed scorecard. So enjoy them while you can. Because
once they’ve dried their eyes, they’ll start seeing all kinds of
opportunities for shaking down taxpayers.
