Govt INC

It seems that my local representative in the House in Washington wants to have Uncle Sam (Govt INC) take charge of yet something else. Her proposal is to have Washington regulate the public colleges and universities of North Carolina (everything from UNC to community colleges) in such a way as to prevent the education of illegal immigrants. I can't stand this. The federal government has NO BUSINESS regulating these institutions. They are state institutions and should be controlled by the state government and the people of North Carolina. We regulate enough from Washington.

For those who think that state regulation of their university system could lead to some failure of that system, remember, the civil rights laws apply to everyone. Thus the state cannot regulate the Universities in any way that interferes with applicable federal laws. As to quality of education, I hope Govt INC never tries "no scholar left behind". The current system of accreditation and the competition to take in more and better quality students will regulate academics much better than the government. It is up to the state and the people who fund the state to determine if illegal immigrants belong in these institutions.
