Christie blasts teachers unions, colleges 'drunk on cash'
Source: AP
AMES, Iowa (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday proposed withholding federal aid to colleges that refuse to provide more transparency in their finances and endorsed letting students pay down their loans with community service.
Speaking at Iowa State University in Ames, the potential Republican presidential candidate also blasted teachers unions for putting "the comfort of adults ahead of the potential of our kids." He held out concessions he'd won on tenure protections in New Jersey as a model for the nation.
His speech on education was his fourth in a policy series as he decides this month to run for the GOP nomination.
Christie took aim at tuition costs, a concern that has come up frequently during his travels to early-voting states.
