The former director of a government-run website for prospective college students believes that the platform is becoming less useful because the Trump administration is scrubbing information.

“Over the past year or so, we’ve seen some announced changes to the Scorecard, and in my opinion, those changes haven’t been beneficial for students looking to make the best college decisions,” Michael Itzkowitz, who served in the Education Department from 2010 to 2016 and oversaw College Scorecard in 2015 and 2016, told Yahoo Finance.

The Trump administration, despite rolling back several other Obama-era policies on higher education and student debt, initially continued to develop the Scorecard website. Education Department Spokesperson Angela Morabito told Yahoo Finance that under Secretary DeVos’ leadership, College Scorecard “has been entirely revamped to benefit students, improve transparency, and hold schools accountable.”

If one were to now look for colleges in Florida, for instance, their first few search results would be ordered in terms of the graduation rate. The first school that appears is the Beauty Academy of South Florida, followed by Florida Academy — both cosmetology schools.

Itzkowitz noted that for-profit institutions generally “are the most likely to leave students underemployed and with unmanageable debt,” and data corroborates that notion.

If West Point required COVID precautions, why not Trump rallies?Donald Trump will hold rallies soon after his West Point speech, which was conducted with COVID-19 precautions. If West Point required COVID-19 prevention measures, why won’t Trump’s rally organizers do the same? Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin joins MSNBC’s Ayman Mohyeldin in for Joy Reid to discuss. JRubinBlogger Because his supporters want to hear from him. I plan on attending ....don’t hate because Joe can’t get more than 4 people to listen to him. Trump 2020....Florida loves Trump....❤️❤️❤️❤️. MSNBC sucks camel toe JRubinBlogger It's all about his Putin style strong man (strawman) persona. This is the tRump show and they are just the players. That's why like any tRump employee, you need to sign away your rights to hold him accountable because he will use you against your best interest. Sheep. JRubinBlogger Civilians are self replicating. Well trained military members are not.
