Hmmm...I guess I don't really know what the "treatment" would be other than some not-so-good looking measures on the
http://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/education/higher-education/college-score-card website. But based on the criteria the Dept. of Ed is using (school cost, grad. rate, default rate,
employment, etc.), it appears that the fed is paying attention to ROI.
From a layman's point of view, why would you loan money to a student to go to a school that cost 30K if that student could go to a school that charges 15K and receive similar employment opportunities? Seems the goal is to curb sky-rocketing tuition.
