Sorry, I don't think I'm asking unreasonable questions here... Also how do we define 'for-profit'?
Because how you define that term will in fact impact other institutions...
I don't think it's really that hard to define "for-profit"...
If they advertise on TV... they're for profit
"one day, one night, saturday's alright.. online's just fine, night time any time... get your degree, set yourself free.. National American University!"
yeah...
Some of the colleges around here run advertisements on TV. And not of all of them seem like for-profit entities. But I guess I could be wrong.
Is there anything wrong with adding some clarification to this bill?
UNC, Wake, NC State, UVA, etc ALL run TV advertisements during sporting events featuring their teams. I don't know what a for-profit school is, but as long as it doesn't effect schools like that, I support it.
I was reading this just after watching the Michigan game I saved and saw a commercial for the Big Ten and Michigan. Funny. Actually, the President's point goes to a much bigger question. Take the tv ad definition out of it (no offense but it was unworkable), but schools get money from athletics, tv sponsorship, etc. Even the military academies (do we have them in Atlasia) make a lot of money that way. If Army, Navy, and Air Force are for profit, then I would be at a loss to find a nonprofit school. Of course, there is St. Mary's for the Blind.
Also, I found the response to Polnut's very legitimate question just rude. I am sure it was not meant that way, but it seemed that way to me (also a little silly).
