Obama is my favorite person right now. This from Inside Higher Ed, College for the Unemployed:

“‘The president also said that he would soon ‘lay out a fundamental rethinking of our job training, vocational education, and community college programs,’ designed ‘to move beyond the idea that we need several different programs to address several different problems — we need one comprehensive policy that addresses our comprehensive challenges.’”

I’m all for anything that makes financial aid easier to get but I’m worried about changes to Perkins and the Workforce act. I’m sure we will not get screwed over but there should be a plan in place to make sure that if these programs are indeed changed or canceled that no CC (read: students) that currently relies on them will fall through the cracks. CC’s rely heavily on these programs in career and tech ed.
