lol, the students have something to protest, it is sure not a republican giving a speech.

[racerx]

Fuck them and the whole system. Students are getting screwed. I remember when it was like 750.00 a semester at sjsu, now I heard its like 7 grand. At 750, we thought that was pricey, we even protested, but to no avail. Not worth going to college if your major is history or liberal arts.

Evergreen Student Activists Demand Video of Them Screaming, Cursing at College President Be Taken Offline

 

“We demand that the video created for Day of Absence and Day of Presence that was stolen by white supremacists and edited to expose and ridicule the students and staff be taken down by the administration by this Friday,” the students wrote in a list of demands to college President George Bridges.

 

The video depicts student protesters screaming and shouting on campus in response to Professor Bret Weinstein’s refusal to participate in a campus event in which white community members were asked to leave the school for a day. The video spread throughout social media.

Our educational system is a reflection of our monetary system, supply and demand. They charge that much because they can get that much. What do you think of Bernie's campaign platform of a closed loop socialization of education making corporations pay for college?

those poor Cali students - some of them like this nanner slug are already turning to crime to pay their tuition :(.

 

[racerx]

I like the idea of corporations paying for higher ed. But good luck with that one. Although Starbucks will pay, albeit, on line classes with I think Arizona state. Another reason why they charge more is because the state cut their funding dramatically. But when I hear shit like all those expensive dinners, makes u wonder if they are jacking up the price because they know they can.

I think the cost of tuition skyrocketed because the feds made it possible for anything warm to get a student loan. When loans became easy to get uni's began jacking up the price of semesters to match the max amount of loan a student could get as they pursued a lucrative degree in Underwater Basket Weaving and Cognitive Reflection of Why Birds Shit.

 

No, supply and demand at college got corrupted when the feds and faculty teamed up to enrich the colleges on the future earnings of students who were pursuing useless degrees for jobs that were becoming irrelevant before the ink dried on their FAFSA applications.

Kinda sounds like the banks giving home loans to anyone who wanted one. Oh wait...

No.

In no way what so ever can a connection be made between supply and demand(monetary system) and the cost of education. Enrollment goes down, price goes up. Enrollment stay the same price goes up. Enrollment goes up, price goes up.

"2015, the US has a total of 4,726 Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions: 3,026 4-year institutions and 1,700 2-year institutions"

sure is not a lack of supply

 

 

 

IF companies ran the schools like a business it would be brilliant.

Any possible charges being considered for Cardinal Pell would be under Victorian state law.

 

They would be subject to the rules of evidence, meaning Victoria Police must decide if any existing allegations or testimony would withstand cross-examination in a court of law.

 

That is a high bar.

 

And Cardinal Pell lives in a different legal jurisdiction. So even if the cardinal was charged, he could choose to return to Australia, or he could choose to remain in the Vatican.

 

Both would be legally possible, unless Pope Francis ordered Cardinal Pell to return.

 

Under the Catholic Church's international code of canon law, the Pope is the "supreme legislator", and is in charge of the church legally and spiritually throughout the world.

 

But there is no modern precedent for a pope ordering a cardinal to return and answer to a foreign legal jurisdiction, given neither Cardinal Law nor Archbishop Paul Marcinkus were charged in the US.

Yep..and student loans have surpassed credit card loans...so you have college students graduating with degrees that don't pay crap and now may owe like 60k. Very similar to what happened to healed college. They were in the business of student loans, educating folks took a back seat when they became a public traded company. Hence, make money first, then teach them something that is worth the paper they graduated with. Sad, very sad...no wonder a lot of younger folks are very negative about their future, they see the price tag of a higher education and to top it off, most will not be able to afford a house here in silicon valley, because they will be burden with debts and even if they do eventually get a fairly decent paying job their debt to earning ratio will suck.

So today is a day I must shout out to this select crowd of how thankful I am for Merica's best educational contribution to the world.  The internet. 

 

Thank you Merica

 

Without this tool I would have had to spend a pile of money for a specialist to come adjust the frequency on my CNC servo amplifiers. Since the internet was available I was able to gleen the correct information on my own to set the signal gains.

 

Beers to you Merica. I am thankful.

USA created the net? 

 

DARPA's communication system of one computer talking to another had influence on this advancement to do with it but a Brit - Sir Tim Berners-Lee is credited with actually creating the first website.

Shit.. Well thank you UK. I am pounding beers in your honor.

 

Edit: Nope still the USA but with a UK worker. Still happened on US soil with US money.

 

Fuck YEAH Merica.

If no one could afford tuition out of pocket, scholarship, grants, government loans, or otherwise, the price would go down. There are differences in the way public vs. private colleges/universities are run, but there are huge differences in now not for profit and for profit schools (businesses) work. For profit schools are in the minority, but you are right, they do run fees right up to the limit of government financial aid. Do shitty in high school though, and that's what the market will bare. Is it fare? Hell no, but that's how business works. Obama passed legislation that set the market straight with predatory for profit schools, and it took most of them out of business.

 

All public and most private schools are not for profit, and what drives their fee structure is still supply and demand. Schools like Harvard and Stanford accept less than 5% of their applicants and can charge $68,000 (tuition only) for an undergrad degree. It's obscene, but that's how it works. Imagine what premium you could charge for a car if you had 20 very motivated buyers. Not to mention Harvard has a $37,615,545,000 endowment from donations made by Harvard graduates. Top 10 schools can charge this crazy shit because the market can and will bare it. Huge demand, very small and exclusive supply. Schools like U Mass and the average UC accept around 20%. In 2017, UCSD had over 100,000 applicants from around the world. Even at that level there is huge demand and competition. State Universities are easier to get in and significantly cheeper. City colleges even more so. If you're dumb enough to take out $50K in loans for a University of Phoenix degree in social studies, a college degree ante going to help.

Harvard, people thing getting in and you can ride the name to big fat paychecks. A few select universities do not reflect the supply side of the equation. (if wiki is correct) the supply side "4,726 Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions: 3,026 4-year institutions and 1,700 2-year institutions" .(and it turns out I was wrong, prices are going down(discounts), just not everywhere-so it indeed has a supply and demand component)

Squatty Potty Denounces Kathy Griffin, Cuts Ties

 

Squatty Potty has issued a statement denouncing Kathy Griffin over the actress’s controversial photoshoot featuring a decapitated head resembling President Donald Trump.

 

As Adweek reports, Squatty Potty – known for its pooping unicorn motif – just announced Griffin as its first celebrity spokesperson earlier this month, featuring her in an ad.

 

Adweek states that “the brand’s CEO and co-creator, Bobby Edwards, called her ‘quirky, brave and fearless,” and a good ambassador to help Squatty Broaden its audience and reach women 35-55.”

 

Those kind words appear to be a thing of the past now, with Squatty Potty having issued – just moments ago – a scathing rebuke of Griffin’s ‘Trump head’ stunt.

 

“While we respect an individual’s right to express political views, we feel her choice to express those views violently was done in poor taste and does not reflect our company culture or brand identity,” the statement reads.

 

“Kathy Griffin is not, nor ever has been Squatty Potty’s spokesperson. She was hired to make one commercial. Squatty Potty has pulled said commercial as well as other promotional and marketing content featuring Kathy Griffin.”

 

Indeed, the ad is no more available on the pooping aid manufacturer’s YouTube profile – or anywhere else on the internet, it seems.

Stop going to college and go into a skilled trade apprenticeship. You get a decent wage to start, your wage increases frequently and if you do require schooling many companies will pay for it.
