Sorry to coin an awful word such as “lossful,” but in this case it fits. I wish to associate myself with Tim’s excellent post below about the Obamites advancing what he calls a “toxic” rule to undermine private, usually for-profit colleges. In addition to Tim’s history of excellent reports on this subject (and Renee’s), Mark Hyman has done several on-target pieces on the same subject.
