An agenda for higher education reform: A keynote address by Senator Lamar Alexander | LIVE STREAM

Steep increases in tuition, lackluster graduation rates, and the struggles of student loan borrowers have put higher education reform at the top of the US education policy agenda. While federal policy debates have traditionally focused on how much should be spent on grants and loans, a growing number of Republicans and Democrats have called for more far-reaching changes to align the incentives of institutions and students, empower consumers, and create space for innovation. The upcoming reauthorization of the Higher Education Act presents an opportunity to rethink the federal approach to college opportunity, but important policy questions remain.

Lamar Alexander is my Senator. I intially down voted this purely on that. I then listened and wished I could down vote again. He doesn't really say anything of substance, just generic statements with vague terms and personal stories that tout how much he's done not doing anything. He's another "middle of the road" politician with no philosophical principles. There is barely any difference between the two parties other than the tactics they use to discredit each other. Utter garbage and a waste of an hour thirty
