Trump finally talked about higher education.

According to a commentary in the Chronicle of Higher Education, his main points were:

1.  Student-loan repayments should be pegged to graduates' income.

2.  Regulatory bloat out of Washington is helping to increase the cost of college.

3.  He doesn't like all the political correctness on college campuses (what a surprise there).

4.  He thinks that perhaps massive endowments ought not to be tax exempt.

Meanwhile, Liberty University's President Jerry Falwell must really be feeling the heat, as he reportedly stands by his endorsement of Trump in the face of recent revelations of alleged sexual assaults by the candidate.  Falwell is quoted as saying that Trump earlier assured him he'd do nothing to embarrass the scion of the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, Sr.  So much for that promise.

Concerning political correctness, here's what the story reports:

Not surprisingly, Mr. Trump is no fan of political correctness on campus. "In the past few decades, political correctness — oh, what a terrible term — has transformed our institutions of higher education from ones that fostered spirited debate to a place of extreme censorship, where students are silenced for the smallest of things," he said. "You say a word somewhat differently, and all of a sudden you’re criticized — sometimes viciously. We will end the political correctness and foster free and respectful dialogue."

Well, we can have little doubt that political correctness will go the way of the passenger pigeon, if Donald Trump moves into the White House next January.  We may even get a mandate from the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights to rescind our sexual harassment/sexual assault policies... especially if the new president ever intends to venture onto any college campuses.
