The White House announced last Wednesday that a summit will be held on
the topic of improving students’ ability to attend college. Notably
not addressed in the announcement was the rising cost of higher
education, which is much of the reason why many forgo college. Later,
the President did acknowledge this major factor in his radio address,
calling on colleges to help solve the issue. He gives a facade of
sympathy for students, but did you know that one of his policies is
actually increasing the cost of college?
