Bill: Private Higher Education Bill of 2107
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dolgar Libertarian Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 2108
Description[?]:
| Some of our private higher learning facilities were the best in the country, before they were regulated to an inch in their lives! The "Cypress-League" schools barely warrent that name any more. We need to give the private schools a longer leash: Their tactics are sometimes unorthodox, but almost always proven. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The regulation of higher education.
Old value:: The government allows private higher education but regulates it to meet nationally set standards.
Current: The government does not fund any public higher education institutions, permitting only private higher education institutions to exist.
Proposed: The government allows public and private higher education institutions to coexist with self-regulation for those that are private.

| Message | Err, no.... Private education is bad education, it leaves things open for alien foreign teaching practices to be used, and well quite frankly useless subjects such as 'Gerbil Studies' to be certified as degree subjects, not a good idea at all. |

| Message | Private education is bad education? WHAT? Harvard Yale Princeton Georgetown Stanford USC... ok maybe that last one is a bad example. :-) And useless subjects are often taught at our PUBLIC universities. How many public universities have such useless things as PE majors and classes like "Rocks for Jocks." I know UCLA (a public school, and a relatively excellent one to boot) did. UC Santa Cruz (another public school) had a class titled "The Hendrix Experience" which consisted entirely of the class listening to Hendrix music and getting stoned. |
