1. Do you think that it is possible for colleges to remain competitive in terms of resources and research

and still cut costs to allow the brightest students access?

2. Moody’s notes that more students are opting to, “enter the workforce without the benefit of a college

education.” Do you think such a move would weaken the global economic competitiveness of the United

States with that of  other nations, especially because the bulk of our GDP consists or highly skilled

services?

3. To what extent should the government intervene and subsidize college education? Should college

education be viewed as a public good especially now that it is practically required for most entry level

jobs and therefore should it be completely subsidized by the tax payers, like the public school

system is ?

4. Why do you think that the seemingly corrupt, exorbitant administrative fees in many colleges, like the

University of Colorado, are seldom  challenged by students?  Do you think information flow may

be a problem?

5. Many sates are moving away from need based aid.  What do you think is an equitable balance in

which a college can have the best  students attend, but also have disadvantaged students attend?

Perhaps the disadvantage students have just as high a potential as the more qualified students, but

were merely disadvantaged in their education and time commitment available  for education.

6. Is it even ethical for someone who is born more intelligent and is also wealthy enough to afford a

college education to be given an even larger economic advantage through merit aid?
