Kevin Kinser, head of Penn State’s Department of Education and Policy Studies, was quoted in a CNBC article. An excerpt of this story featuring Kinser is below:

“Experts say that for-profit schools have led to skyrocketing student loan debt. Today, Americans owe about $1.2 trillion in outstanding student loan debt.

“‘They’re disproportionately responsible for the amount of debt out there,’ said Dr. Kevin Kinser, head of Penn State’s Department of Education and Policy Studies. ‘They are extremely reliant on student tuition as their sole source of revenue and at the same time extremely reliant on federal financial aid, in particular federal student loans.’

“The Obama Administration’s efforts to curb the worst practices of the industry have resulted in new regulations and investigations of for-profit schools like ITT Tech and Corinthian College.”

“Don’t take the podium.

“ ‘Do something daring,’ suggests Nichola Gutgold, professor of communication at Penn State University and author of ‘Almost Madam President’ and ‘Gender and the American Presidency: Nine Presidential Women and the Barriers They Faced.’

“ ‘Walk around the room’ Gutgold, who is in Philadelphia watching the convention, suggests so she can get closer to the people — as a way to bring out her humanity.”

“When it comes to the House Benghazi enterprise, ‘To quote Yogi Berra, “It’s déjà vu all over again,” ‘ says Lance Cole, who runs the Center for Government Law and Public Policy Studies at Penn State University’s Dickinson Law School. Given the muddle of congressional investigations, maybe it’s apt that he uses a Yogi-ism that Berra both denied ever saying but also took credit for later in life. ‘There’s a Clinton running for president and a Republican committee in Congress releasing a report aimed at destroying a Clinton,’ says Cole.

“He speaks with a certain sense of history. He was deputy special counsel for the minority Democrats on the mid-1990s Special Committee to Investigate Whitewater Development Corporation and Related Matters that was run by the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs led by then-New York Republican Sen. Al D’Amato.”
