Here's something new from the "Government refuses to leave us alone" file. It would appear that we need a national database of college students to "improve national college statistics."
The feds want to collect the following:name, address, birth date, gender, race, and Social Security number, field of study, credits, tuition paid, and financial aid received. It would also keep tabs on transfers and students who drop out and re-enroll at a later date.
That's all we need: the federal transcript database. Memo to Big Brother: stay the hell out of my college transcript.
I wonder if "Drop D's and F's" applies to the government database as well?
