Article in The Economist on John Sperling

The June 6th edition of The Economist has the following article on John Sperling: http://www.economist.com/business/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1165630

 

One interesting quote:

“We have a huge political apparatus: 35 lobbyists on retainer,” says Mr Sperling, explaining how entry into each new state—the university is in 37 so far—has involved wooing its politicians."

Another example of why I believe regulation of private postsecondary schools should be at the Federal level.

At least under Federal law interested parties could find out who the lobbyists are and how much was paid.
