Just an oddity on this post-Thanksgiving Friday. There are sales galore. Now focus on this: The US government was recently “selling” a fake US university in Detroit to foreign students. And it “looked” real enough that students enrolled and paid thousands. Who knows where the money went. Now, the fake government was a success in trapping some of the student visa fraud. This fake university success occurs as real universities/colleges are failing — and they are desperately trying to get students, domestic or foreign. Is anyone seeing irony here? The fake university enrolls students with ease while the real school admissions officers are struggling? Two thoughts: maybe government is onto a legal way to get new students and isn’t what US did entrapment? One more thought: is setting up a fake university the best use of government talent and resources? If these gov. folks are so talented, why not have them work on real education at real educational institutions in need? What a waste of talent and dollars on so many levels. # #colleges #educationreform …see more
