Fees are mostly increasing because of tuition increase caps paired with state funding cuts Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 21/11/2011 01:50:02 PM
I think the govt should get out of subsidizing student loans, or at least scale back dramatically. It's probably the biggest reason why schools have been cranking up their fees by leaps and bounds every year.


Though I agree with your larger point about subsidized loans.
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

That would be a legal right relating to unions not a basic human right. *NM* Urza - 22/11/2011 05:57:34 AM 563 Views
Right; there is a right to work when it suits you, and not when it does not. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:16:40 AM 928 Views
...do you know what "right-to-work" in those states entails? Ghavrel - 22/11/2011 07:55:02 AM 1062 Views
I would not pretend to be an authority on it, no, but broadly speaking, yes. Joel - 22/11/2011 08:12:50 AM 1063 Views

Well, that was little more than a simple no. Joel - 22/11/2011 07:57:11 AM 944 Views
