THE TRENCHANT OBSERVATION OF THE DAY. Southern Indiana's Jason Fertig correctly sees the consequence of expanding college enrollment.

The push from our elected officials to increase the amount of college degrees will only ratchet up the enrollment of unmotivated students on campus. While the apathy train left the station a long time ago, now is the time to apply to brakes before it picks up any more speed.

The push produces an expensive signal of degraded value.
