Hypocrisy, Republican Leaders don’t Mind Charter Schools Sponsored by Universities, Colleges, and Corporations getting Federal Grants and While Profiting from them, but will Raise the Interest Rate on Student Loan and will cut Pell Grant Funding

Republicans are making funding ready and lifting caps all for the profit, but you the student nothing .

Year after year universities or colloges receive grant, but you the student or the parent with a child attending or seeking more schooling after High school  maybe faced with where do you find the money to attend college.   Unlike the corporations and Universities that are profiting off your children they don’t have to worry about Republicans raising the rate on them.  It’s that corporate and rich ideal of Republicans where everyone else pays more and those with more pay less.

While in office, 43rd President George Bush and  a majority Republican Congress made it possible for Universities and Colleges or corporations to receive federal grants while profiting from your child attending their elementary schools to High schools.  Bush’s No Child Left Behind and the Federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Part B, Sections 502–511 authorizes funding grants for charter schools, in which bsoth calls for extra funding for charter schools such as grants and money from private donors or foundations.

Consider this Universities and colleges creating for profit chrater schools and are making money and getting grants for these schools. You the student or the parent of a son or daugher attending a higher level of education institute had the Pell grant cut by House Republicans. These Universities and Colleges while profiting on the money millions of students attending their schools every year, they have created for themselves a second income with these for-profit Charter Schools. A grants for colleges and universities means they can make more profit with grants helping to cover the cost. For you the student or parent a cut in the Pell Grant means you maynot receive a higher level of education.

As a country are we to value the importance of colleges and universities make profits over having an educated country. We can gather from Republicans recent action the eduction of millions is not something they find tht important. Haven’t these schools already profit enough from their sports programs, especially when you consider all students playing sports don’t get a scholarship or even a full one.

All these students have are their voice to share their concerns. These schools on the other hand have millions to lobby. The Coalition for Educational Success lobbies on the behalf of these colleges and univiersities who own for-profit charter schools. As you see below their lobbying as extensive. Even the charter schools that declare themselves as non-profit aren’t really non-profit because they do he loopholes that allow them to make profits.

Today the U.S. Senate Republicans blocked a bill preventing the student loan rates from doubling. Perhaps if a student were a corporation Republicans would have done everything possible to prevent rate hikes. If nothing is done by July 1 it is expected interest rates should double from 3.4% to 6.8%.

Here is a look at tho lobbying of Coalition for Educational.  They Represent these Universities and Colleges that have for profit charter schools.  Below  that I have a list of grants given to one Charter School in particular that is sponsored by the Bay Mills Community College.  Bay Mills Community College is raking in millions in profit from sponsoring charter schools.  In 2009 it is reported that Bay Mills Community College grossed $3.2 million.  Since 2009 Republicans have continuously pushed for more funding as well as cap removals on Charter Schools making it so that in 2012 these Universities and colleges will likely profit more.
