Privatization

The reason that there needs to be more political attention is because of the growing privatization in America. Colleges love privatization due to the fact that they are getting more and more money. But the problem is, according to the Frontline episode on the higher education bubble, Colleges generally spend an average of 20%-25% on advertising and name outing methods while they only spend 10%-12% on instruction. Without a call for change things will only increase in their extremities. Advertising will increase and instruction will continue to decrease. It's sad that universities can get away with such a thing with out being reprimanded for their actions. The victim in this whole scenario is the students and it is for that reason that the students need to  band together and demand attention from the politicians.
