Missouri Turns Student Loan Money Over To Corporate Construction Companies

On the surface- one has to ask WTF?

Why the State of Missouri- under Matt Blunt's eager approval- would take the cash OUT of the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority- the agency that doles out student loans for higher education- and put that money into new construction at state universities?

Today- $230-million disappeared- with court approval mind you- from the Missouri Higher Education Loan Authority to that construction fund- according to THE KANSAS CITY STAR.

Has ANYONE asked the simple question with today's soaring higher education tuitions: Without student loans readily available- who will be able to AFFORD to sit in those fancy new buildings?
