Public university partners with The Rise Fund in for-profit education initiative targeting partial college completers who were hamstrung by high college costs. This is nothing to celebrate. ihenow.com/2Vn3BNy cc: @AnandWrites
Consider how this has worked. People can't complete college because of systemic issues which result in high costs and other barriers. The ultra-wealthy behind The Rise Fund have achieved this wealth propping up this system...
Now, ASU, the "new American university" will seek profit by selling access to education the partial-completers were denied by the system that benefitted the people behind The Rise Fund. What a great deal.
As @AnandWrites points out, we would be much better off if we didn't have to rely on The Rise Fund in order to secure access to higher education and therefore, opportunity. That ASU sees the people who have been most disadvantaged by the system as a profit opportunity is gross.
ASU is the envy of other public universities because they're the best at figuring out how to partner with the vampires who have drained the public of its lifeblood. It's a scam.
This is @tressiemcphd's #LowerEd writ large and it's being hailed as innovative, the future of opportunity. Please resist buying into this B.S.
