Links for 03/02/16 | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Bravo to the Pope for telling capitalists where to put their blood money. I think he is feeling the Bern,which should make Catholics in both the Trump and Clinton camps squirm. Viva Liberation Theology!
The former President of Mt. St. Mary's does not understand the Catholic brand. While public universities also cull their freshman who can't succeed, the Catholic model is for smaller classes and more assistance to students who may yet hit their stride. If he were offering full refunds to students who can't cut it, that would be different. This is why the University of Pheonix requires students to take one class that shows that they can handle that format. Perhaps schools could have a one course mini-term before the start of the first semester to test basic ability before the real bills come in. Of course, if the first two years of college were an extension of the last two years of high school, as some states are now doing, this would not be an issue, as juniors can obviously handle the workload if they start university life at that point.
Of the universe of capitalists, probably Warren Buffett is the least onerous - but that is not saying much. If he really wants to cement his place in business history, he would sell all of the Berkshire Hathaway companies to their employees, with structures to make sure the employees are actually in charge, rather than retaining capitalist CEOs.
