The College Diploma Fraud
By Robert Weissberg
For more than a half-century, government has tried to close racial gaps in
educational attainment. Sad to say, those gaps have proven intractable.
Nevertheless, the impulse remains as heartfelt as ever (perhaps due to its
financially lucrative character), but the emphasis is now shifting from
actual learning to equality of graduation rates. President Obama has spoken

“The State of our Union is broke, heading for bankrupt, and total collapse
shortly thereafter. Thank you and goodnight! You’ve been a terrific crowd!”
I gather that Americans prefer something a little more upbeat, so one would

Losing campaigns have a certain feel to them: They go negative hard, try
