This period of meltdown in the financials, investment institutions, and congressional paralysis seems to point to the lack of vision everywhere. The bottom line seems to be that decisions are all about greed and nobody cares about the institutions, the country, or the future of our children. Basically, our MBA programs don't appear to have any moral or ethical premises. There just seems to be no leadership anywhere anymore.

I tend to think that the government called the banks bluff and they'll suck it up and get back into the student loan game. Student loans are unsecured but they're also not dis-chargeable in bankruptcy so I'd imagine the banks will stop their complaining and get back to business eventually. Through their tears they'll see the opportunity. It will be interesting to see how the student loan crunch affects the flood of students into business schools during this economic downturn.

Lets not forget students DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO GO TO SCHOOL THEY BORROW IT and in this economy borrowing is not that easy. Most banks have stopped lending money to students so applications can go up but will students ever actually go to the college is a totally different issue.
