<p>You may have seen this guy on CNN. He wears a bow tie and little glasses. </p>

<p>He suggests in this article that colleges should have to provide figures on how much graduates make, by major. He also proposes that if students default on loans, the college should be responsible for pay back of 25 to 50 percent of what is due.</p>

<p>It is a quick read and he makes some interesting proposals.</p>
