Speaking with the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Rhode Island, Earl N. Smith III, the questioned was posed, "should collegian athletes be paid for their services while representing their universities?" Smith responded, "Yes, it all comes down to ethics. These kids generate huge sums of money for the NCAA and its universities and some of them come from extreme hardship. It is more than just a college tuition that they need. You have travel, clothes; a lot goes into college other than tuition (E.N.
Frontline College Inc. says that the money that is spent on advertisements is a big percentage than what is spent on the faculty and educators of the school. Colleges spend a lot of time figuring out how they are going to get students to enroll instead of being focused on the students concerns. Education should be first priority with schools, because of the amount they are paying for a better future, for-profits pay double of what students pay for regular community colleges. The amount of tuition paid should be the amount of care towards the student’s education that is received by teacher with promises
For the people who don’t interact with people well, college will give you the opportunity to enhance your communication skills for the real world. Now there are also people who decide not to go to college mainly because they can’t afford to go. With the economy today, it is extremely difficult to find a job and earn decent money without a college degree. Even though there are people out there who would like to go to college, it really makes things difficult without having some sort of job to cover your expenses. Another reason why people don’t go to college
Summary of “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” In the article, “Are Colleges Worth the Price of Admission?” by, Andrew Hacker and Claudia Drefius there are many suggestions on how to reform colleges to make the price of admission worth it to students attending. One idea stated in the article was engaging all students; “professors must make an effort to reach their students” (180). The authors are suggesting that instead of just teaching day to day curriculum they should pay attention to how all the students are performing. Another point stated was that colleges are not pushing their students minds. Instead of worrying about the pay off the students should be concerned with developing all they can intellectually.
Nobody State University: Total Revenue Increase Evangelina Mwangi January 27, 2014 Instructor: Sean Bedard-Parker Overview My company, Somebody’s Money Revenue Service, sent me to evaluate and assess the risks of raising or lowering tuition cost with enrollment in order to develop an increase in total revenue for the Nobody State University. Student enrollment is at an all-time low for the university and needs encouragement to increase. With nearby competition from bigger and shorter term schools such as Everybody University and Smart Tech USA, a solution which can compete for student enrollment through tuition or incentive programs is needed. As a representative of Somebody’s Money Revenue Services, I am here to present the Nobody State University (NSU) with the solution to a lack of sufficient revenue from low student enrollment and tuition prices. In this presentation, I will explain the pros and cons of raising or lowering tuition versus student enrollment and how price elasticity will come into play with the tuition variable, as well as inform how I might approach the situation from the position of President of the university.
Jack Lansana English 093 Movie Response: Declining by Degree 4/8/12 In this revealing documentary, veteran correspondent John Merrow takes you behind the ivy-covered walls of our colleges and universities to see if they are delivering on their promises. It has been the best and most relevant documentary I’ve seen in a long time. At a time when a college education is vital to an individual’s future and our nation’s economic standing in the world. The documentary explores the simple yet significant question: what happens between admission and graduation? Through examinations of the lives of students, professors, and administrators, as well as journeys behind the walls of four drastically different college campuses, the film looks to discover if higher education is indeed, on the decline.
Karon Gibson English 12 Should College Athletes Be Paid to Play? College athletes should not be paid to play sports because most athletes are attending college on full or partial scholarship and receive financial aid packages. This money is basically paying the students to study. Student athletes do bring greater part of the money into the school but most of the money is spent on them to. Paying athletes to play would create a huge gap in college sports because of the ability to pay more at the bigger schools.
Inflation aside, this means college is getting more expensive. Unless your parents are wealthy enough to pay for your tuition or you worked your tail off to receive a full-ride scholarship, more often than not, you have to take out student loans to fund your education. As a result of the high price tag of getting an education, many graduates struggle when faced with the trouble of paying off that huge debt. It’s no longer a right to attend higher education. To many, myself included, attending college is now a luxury.
Dear Honorable Titian: I understand the House of Representatives of the United States has just passed a bill which would do away with federal grants to college students. I am currently enrolled in college and depend greatly on the grants I receive. These grants allow great opportunity, for not just me, but for many other students as well. Taking them away would cause problems in several areas. The passage of the “Pick the Public’s Pocket No More” bill would lower college application rates, lower college graduation rates, and lower our country’s number of new college graduates for open positions in the work force.
