Dick Durbin said "Isn't the bottom line that we want to make sure that, first, schools are accredited, so when they hold themselves out to offer a training program, certificate, degree, they, in fact, are doing that; second, to make sure they are charging a reasonable amount for the education they are offering; third, if you have so many defaults, it basically says your students are just accumulating debt, not accumulating diplomas, and we have to bring that to an end; and they are asking about whether students end up in a job when it is all over, gainful employment. Are any of these unreasonable if the Federal Government is providing 90 percent of the revenues for these schools?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
