“I worry about the rhetoric versus the resources once again. Are we going to be able to ensure that we can provide the commitment to students at all levels, that the resources will be there to match the rhetoric that we hear coming from the administration with regard to their commitment on education? I have my doubts. We have at least two instances now so far--the student loan issue as well as the no child left behind question--where the rhetoric has far exceeded the results and the reality and the resources.”
