Abstract:
Got Tuition?, a nonpartisan group owned and operated by the National Education Association, will be making a stop at Kent State Oct. 15. The group seeks to educate student voters about issues that affect them....
Sorry, but the whole gist of this article seems to infer that the current crop of students can't handle a 'multiple-guess' question with a choice of answers more than two choices deep? What about an Independent candidate like Ralph Nader who just happens to be on the ballot in 45 states? What about the Libertarian, Socialist or Green presidential candidates?
Sorry, NEA folk/Doc Lefton, but it's the very parochial, old hat, inside-the-box thinking and money-chase philosophy as you've just expressed
on Pell Grants for funding higher education that is holding our whole nation back. At the current rate of $4,0000-plus per Pell Grant, it is not the Federal Government's fault if that sum is not enough to cover a semester at Kent State Univeristy. That onus falls soley on the shoulders of our State's Legislature, Board of Education, Boards of Trustees and 'apolitical university administrations'!
US News & World Report's Best Colleges 2009 can readilly supply one with a list of public colleges nationwide where $4,000-plus would cover most of the cost of a semester in college! That's why Governor Strickland 'cajoled' KSU officials into using a small part of their rainy day fund to help bring KSU's tuition back into line with the national average. In other words, KSU's previous budgeting phiolosophies were not considerate of keeping college affordable for the students. Go figure.
