Just a guess........
I'm thinking that he raised the total amount of funding, but lowered the amount of semesters allotted, because it never was about education. They probably did a study, and found that 12 semesters of liberal indoctrination, was all it took to create democrat voters. Whether or not they graduate and get a job, is irrelevant.
In fact, it would probably be better if they don't. Not being able to finish college and get a job will be blamed on the rich, conservative establishment.................which wants to keep all of the money for themselves.
