It's really nice that MOHELA is being sold off for buildings. Never mind that Mizzou is receiving the majority of the sale when UMSL students comprise the majority of MOHELA recipients. The concept of selling a public institution which provides student loans is horrible. While the sale will fund new buildings, or upgrades, this will not matter if no one can afford to use them. Lets build wonderful buildings and ignore that MU is the most expensive college system in the Big 12. Better yet we should sell of an institution that enables students to afford said expensive college system! Thank you Mr. Blunt for your wonderful example of good policy. Your standard is one that we all hope to reach.
