This guy clapped at me. I clapped back. We then spoke. I also think he was very mature in how he internalized our conversation. Onwards! I funded his two daughters' college accounts.
My parents were never upfront with me about financial matters and basically left me flat footed when it came to learning to be an adult. I never wanted that for my son and have been frank about covering the costs of college and his car when he graduates. He has been working since he was 14 and saving half his paycheck. He also is taking dual credit and AP classes. He will essentially start college off as a junior if he plays his cards right.
What I hear from Republican members of Congress is a desire to ensure that colleges are using their charitable endowments to support today's students and researchers rather than saving too much for the future, said Princeton president Christopher Eisgruber.
The Trump administration is demanding that at least 60 US colleges change their policies or face losing billions in federal funding. This includes significant oversight over admissions and campus culture.
