Meritocracy at work: CEOs & celebrities indicted for bribing their kids way into elite colleges.

The Progressive Wing Posted on March 12, 2019 by Subir GrewalMarch 12, 2019

We are constantly told that this country is a meritocracy. Actress Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin are among dozens charged in a nationwide college entrance exam scandal, according to court documents filed in Boston on Tuesday. Several NCAA D-1 college coaches have also been charged in the scandal. Documents show those indicted allegedly paid millions in bribes to get their children into elite colleges. Those colleges include Yale, Stanford and the University of Southern California. Loughlin and husband, Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of paying $500,000 to USC in exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the college’s … Continue reading →

10/10 News Roundup – How To Watch Bernie’s ‘Free Public Tuition’ Townhall, The Atlantic Coast Pipeline Is Rejected & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 10, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 10, 2017

Happy Tuesday friends! There’s a lot of news to be covered and I’ll do my best in sharing what I find important/interesting, and hope you will do the same.

Starting off with Sen. Bernie Sanders to hold town hall to push for free public college tuition:

The Vermont Independent, who introduced legislation on the issue earlier this year, will speak about the topic at Castleton University in Vermont at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday. The speech and a Q&A will be livestreamed on Facebook. Student groups at hundreds of colleges across the country plan to hold watch parties, according to the senator’s office.

Sanders introduced legislation in April to make public colleges and universities across the U.S. tuition-free for working families and to significantly reduce student debt. The legislation would eliminate tuition and fees at four-year and two-year public colleges and universities for families making up to $125,000 – about 80% of the population – and make community college tuition- and fee-free for all, according to a news release announcing the legislation attempt.

The College for All act would also reduce student loan debt for students and parents which now exceed Americans’ credit card debt. The bill would cut all student loan interest rates for new borrowers in half, which also enables existing borrowers to refinance their loans based on the interest rates available to new borrowers.

It has an estimated cost of $600 billion and would be paid for by a separate bill to tax Wall Street speculation.

A version of the legislation was introduced in the House by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.

The rest of what I’m reading/watching will be in the comments. See you there!

10/7 News Roundup – Bernie Hosts Vermont College Fairs, Nina Turner & Jim Hightower In Texas & More

The Progressive Wing Posted on October 7, 2017 by LieparDestinOctober 7, 2017

Happy Saturday everyone! Thought I would do a Saturday roundup.

Starting off with Sanders of course:

Sanders to hold college fairs Oct 7 at Lyndon State, Oct 14 at Castleton

Senator Bernie Sanders is inviting Vermont high school students and their families to join him at two college fairs on Saturday, Oct. 7 at Lyndon State College (link is external) and Saturday, Oct. 14 at Castleton University (link is external). Vermont colleges, universities, and certificate and apprenticeship programs will be on hand to describe the excellent post-secondary educational opportunities that are available right here in our state. The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation will explain different financial aid options that students may be eligible for, and will even help students complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

A series of 30-minute financial aid workshops will start at 10:30 a.m. and end at 12 p.m. Attendees do not have to pre-register for workshops. Instead, they will sign-up on a first-come, first-served basis, when they arrive.

“At a time when post-secondary education is more important than ever to get a decent-paying job, we must do everything possible to make sure every high school student, who has the desire and ability, has the information they need to further their education and career prospects,” said Bernie, who serves on the Senate education committee.

More news, video, etc. in the comments.

Have a great day!
