John McCain's Higher Education Platform

John McCain quietly released his higher education platform last week. It hasn't drawn much notice, perhaps because it's only newsworthy in its lack of depth. Sure, one can't really disagree that we need to "Prepare for the 21st Century in Higher Education" or "Improve Information for Parents," but those are pretty weak platitudes for a major party candidate this late in the game. His "plan" doesn't include any numbers, dollar signs, or specific proposals.
