<p>I understand that this report was designed to examine one part of the education system, the federal aid, but I think when you look at the whole context, the proposed reforms won’t change much. With many colleges ‘gapping’ aid, more transparency in federal funding still won’t give most families a realistic idea of what their contribution will be. Also, as Roger Dooley pointed out, access to more aid has only resulted in unchecked tuition increases. I think the real discussion should be what colleges can do to contain costs and reduce tuition across the board.</p>
