...In 1991 students held sit in and occupied CUNY school in protest of tuition hikes that would result in 33% increase in tuition in one year. Students were quite responsive to the hikes because a year ago tuition was hiked $200 a year. Many people see the CUNY system as an attainable option for higher education to the less privileged. They come from all types of backgrounds and from mostly poor and middle class families. Students take advantage of the relatively low tuition of CUNY schools because they otherwise couldn’t attend universities otherwise. If I were a student during the times of protests during 1969 and 1991 I don’t think I would take an active role in the sit-ins but I would be sympathetic of the protestor’s causes. I believe that a lot of the protests had to do with the backgrounds of students and such would affect my stance on the situations. In1969 students protested the limited selection process of public CUNY schools. The student body of students was mainly white but minorities wanted to have the same opportunities of a free higher education that everyone else had. These protests came a few years after the Civil Rights movement successfully granted minorities immunity from any segregation. It is a person’s right to fight for their education especially in a new era of established civil rights. Being from a white background I wouldn’t protest against the limited selection process because it didn’t affect me. Although it is a human right to gain entrance to a public...

...The Negative Effects of Tuition Fee Increase to the Academic Performance of First Year Students of the University of Mindanao GROUP 6 Setting Problem The Problem And Its Setting Tuition fees are fees charged for instruction during higher education. Tuition payments are charged by educational institutions in some countries to have funding on school equipment, staffs, teachers, and facilities to provide a comfortable learning experience. In some countries there are no or only nominal amount of tuition fees in all forms of education, including Universities and higher education institutions. In a country like the Philippines tuition fee is a very sensitive thing for every Filipino once it increases a wave of reaction follows. It’s no surprise since the country is still in developing state and probably millions still under the poverty line defining the economic status of every Filipino. When we have a closer look of the problem you probably see the reality in which it affects as much as tuition fee is concerned, the academic performance of students. Students who choose to stay in school may have to work longer hours at more demanding jobs to cover their expenses. This can interfere with academic performance. A 2002 study by the State Public Interest Research Group's Higher Education Project found that working full-time can harm grades. Forty-two percent of survey respondents reported that working hurt their academic progress, and 53 percent reported...

...of college education People who possess a degree have a better chance of finding successful careers. However, a college education has been getting increasingly more difficult by the sky-rocketing costs of college tuition. The authors of “Administrative costs in higher education: how fast are they really growing?” state that: “The College Board says the average tuition and fees at public four-year colleges and universities increased by 27 percent beyond the rate of inflation over the five years from the 2008-09 academic year to 2013-14. After adjusting for inflation, the cost of tuition more than tripled between 1973 and 2013” (Hedrick et al 124). The tuition cost now becomes a cause of considerable public concern because it is very high compared to how the economy has been and how wages and financial aid have not risen with the cost of tuition. With the cost of college rising, many have asked a question: Is a college education worth the cost? Anyway, it cannot be denied that a college education always remains an important investment for the future. Tuition is usually the first thing that comes to mind when planning for higher education. It is the largest portion of the bill when attending a college or university. Tuition is a term that refers to tuition, fees, and room and board charges per student. According to Robert Martin, the author of “Why tuition costs are rising so quickly?”, for the 2006–2007 school year, the average cost of tuition and fees at...

...the funding for public education in order to alleviate the stress from the numerous financial problems the country faces. On a state level further cuts are being made to compensate for the lack of funds. Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has proposed cuts to funding education because of the state’s $27 billion budget shortfall. This creates fewer funds for programs to enrich the students. If funding gets cutting state educational funds will doom this nation by decreasing the quality of Texas instructors, decreasing Texas students’ likelihood in succeeding in college, and increasing the crime rate in Texas. Cutting funds to education decreases the quality of Texas’ instructors by reducing the funds available for promising upcoming teachers. Without scholarships or loan forgiveness many civilians will not choose a career in education because there is no longer an incentive to pursue this path. Grow Your Own, teacher’s aide tuition exemptions, and Access to Success funding programs all rely on federal and state funding. The Government substantially reduced or canceled the funding for these programs because of the cuts. This is thanks to Texas Gov. Rick Perry and state Republican leaders, who proposed a slash of $4.8 billion in state school aid over the course of two years. The educational cuts have already resulted in 100,000 school worker layoffs, reducing the quantity and quality of professionals available for the children’s education. Reducing funds in education also decreases the likelihood...

...a thesis paper done for the University of Richmond in 2008 (Wright, 2008). In his thesis Wright looked at what effects, if any, a tuition increase has at a private, nonprofit, liberal arts college, to the quality of the students that the school attracts. By setting up a model to compare to student quality to tuition increases, Wright was able to measure the price elasticity between the two. Wright's theory was that upper level schools raise tuition to enhance the perception of the quality of the education provided by that institution along with the physical resources available to students. By knowing that tuition hikes at upper level schools will have little effect on that schools ability to draw top notch students, the colleges are able to take that extra revenue and improve the quality of the education provided. Not wanting to lower their actual or perceived quality, private college presidents had little reason to keep their prices down; the worst thing a president could do during this time was to lower tuition relative to that of a less prestigious university (Breneman, 1994). However, the price elasticity of rising tuition compared to student quality at lower level schools, Wright contended, was not necessarily as evident. What Wright did was establish a model of a lower level, private, non-profit schools and compared the effects of tuition increase on incoming student quality. To Price Elasticity measure student quality Wright compared average SAT scores and the...

...Many students find it hard to fund for their own college education. By graduating high school, students may feel overwhelmed especially when their parents do not have the expenses to pay for their child’s college education. Some students can earn scholarships and others expect the government to help pay for their college expenses. In the excerpt, “Students Should Not Expect the Government to Help Pay for College Expenses”, Gary O’Neill claims that students who are seeking a higher education, and do not have the expenses to pay for it, should not expect the government to help them. Indirectly, the government already helps pay for college expenses through services such as fire departments, medical assistance and police protection. Also,...

Check carefully for grammar errors before you turn it in for a grade. *NOTE: Do not plagiarize (use the words and ideas of others) and do not get help to "make it perfect". PROMPT: California’s economy is in very bad condition, with an imbalance of over $25 billion dollars. The government will have to consider both cutting spending and raising income by taxes. One of the many cuts is the community college budget, and our own district & college are going to lose millions of dollars no matter what. One of the many ways to increase income is to raise tuition fees (currently they are $26/unit for residents and $234/unit for non-residents & international students. Proposals range from $36/unit to (in the worst case) $66/unit. TOPIC: What are the most important effects of a tuition fee increase? In other words, if Los Rios college tuition increases, what effects will this have? Explain the cause-effect connections to show HOW these effects will happen. In this essay, first consider the many different types of effects before you choose which ones to write about. Effects can be positive or negative; it is up to you to decide which kind of effects you want to discuss, and show how these effects could happen, to whom, and why they are important enough to write about.

... and I am particularly concerned about the millions of Californians who have been negatively affected. From poverty, to health care issues, to the falling unemployment rates, and much more; but today I would like to focus specifically on our educational systems. When you were elected in 2010, many students hoped that your election would take in a new era for public higher education in California and reverse the approach taken by your “predecessor”. Thus far, things have not improved, and in fact, in many ways they have worsened. You cut over $1.5 billion from state higher education funding, and you have proposed more "trigger cuts" and devastating cuts to the Cal Grant program. Because of the repeated cuts in past years, fees at the UC, CSU and Community Colleges have roughly doubled. During that time, courses, departments, and services have all been slashed to the point of being unrecognizable. Students support your call for new taxes to fund education and essential services. The previous version of your tax initiative would not have restored any of the $1.5 billion you cut from higher education last year, and its failure would result in an additional $200 million cut to UC and CSU. Once again, I am concerned that our future is being negotiated without students at the table. Students would expect to be consulted moving forward, and that this compromise will eliminate any “trigger cuts” for our systems, make more...

...Leadership Politics and Leadership in Higher Education Paper There are several important political issues that affect higher education and impact leaders and leadership. As a nation we have lost confidence in many of our most important institutions including our colleges and universities. A common criticism focuses on how education expenses continue to rise in America. Although America continues to be one of the most educated countries in the world, we have fallen behind in the percentage of young people with a college degree. As the numbers of problems have increased over the past decades, many constituencies of the higher education system have searched for stronger managers and visionary leaders. Colleges and universities need leaders and managers who can turn their visions into realities (Pietrucha, 2012). It is wise for leaders to start thinking about the needs of their followers who require support, encouragement, and reassurance and guide them through this period of vagueness and uncertainty. Summary of Political Arguments A recent political argument, the post-trillion dollar status achievement in the area of student loan debt shows no signs of reversing itself. In 2010 there were $100 billion in education loans taken out by U.S. citizens (Pietrucha, 2012). The rate of higher education cost has increased at a rate three times that of inflation over the last two decades, with average increase in college tuition around four percent annually (Pietrucha, 2012)...

...3: Setting tuition and financial aid Instructor: Patricia Wiseman Managerial Economics MBA-540-MB01 Saint Leo University Sushma Madhavaram Summary: Prices are the variable property which can increase or decrease the desire of purchasing the commodity which in simple terms referred as demand. For most of the commodities if prices soar high then people purchase less good hence reducing demand in the same way if supply increases prices go down increasing demand. This basic principle is the basis for the ‘law “of demand which can be described as quantity demand plummets as prices go upward, other variable factors constant. To understand the demand and price relation economists refer demand as schedule of quantities of commodity people want to buy at various prices, other factors constant (Colander, Rockerbie, & Richter, 2006, p.73). Whereas quantity demand is referred as demand of goods at certain price in the demand curve. Ursinus College in Pennsylvania in the year 2000 increased their tuition fee 17.6% to $23,460 in order to increase college revenue and funds to support financial aid which also in turn increased their admissions (Brickley, Smith, & Zimmerman, 2009, p.110). The conjecture of college president is increase in demand is against the law of the demand because of college going student’s snob mentality and their comparison of quality with respect to price. He speculated student’s presumption of costly colleges will have better quality education compared...

...College tuition price is like buying a new car every year. The Average college tuition is around $30000 - $60000 Per year. The average car price is around $30,000 to $50000 for a new car. College is too expensive sometimes, especially for parents that earn $30000 per year. College will become their yearly income. The Problem this is is because others don’t want to have a big debt, then they just not attend college. The Effect is later in life when they don’t have a good yearly income, as they would with a college degree. College tuitions cause people not to go to college. Since the tuitions affect the ones who can’t afford the college tuition. A possible solution would be cutting the tuitions by at least 50%. College is too expensive...

...Affording College: Affects of rising tuition cost on students Ashley Mason General Orientation Dr.Graham January 27, 2014 Abstract In this paper I will be discussing the affects of rising tuition rates in America in private and private colleges and universities. I will go into great detail on how this is affecting students. My research suggests that over the years the American family’s income has not been able to keep up with cost of college tuition. Because of this we see a drastic decrease in enrollment and also in drop rates being that student cannot afford to go to college. Higher tuition, more fees and bigger classes are things that will be awaiting student for generations to come as they apply to enroll into college in the fall. The Cost of College tuition in the United States is steadily growing. Students and their families have been dealing with this using many different methods. These methods however may not be the most effective or beneficial. Some students do things such as work more hours to pay for college, which consequently causes them to lower their course load. This causes them to spend more time in college subsequently causing them to spend more and more money. It has been reported that since the year 1978 that college tuition has increased by a sky rocketing 1200%. This means that the cost of college tuition has been increasing faster than family income and it also has increased 4 times...

...uition so high? There's no shortage of potential culprits. At various times in the past few years, areas such as intercollegiate athletics, decreased state support, federal aid programs, the price of highly skilled labor and the growth of administrative bureaucracy -- among others -- have all come in for a share of the blame. But sophisticated analyses of the revenues and costs associated with public higher education institutions have been few and far between, complicating efforts to control both cost (what institutions spend) and price (what colleges charge students). And that makes the initiative launched by Virginia's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, an oversight agency that evaluates other state agencies and programs, interesting. Over the next two years, the commission, at the request of state lawmakers, plans to analyze in depth how expenses at the state's public universities have changed over the past few decades, an endeavor that could result in new ways to control costs and prices, both in the state and nationwide. And the commission's first report, released this month, hints at one area that will be explored in depth in subsequent reports -- auxiliary services, including housing, dining and intercollegiate athletics. “During the last decade, total spending per student (accounting for inflation) increased about 2 percent at Virginia’s six research institutions, and about 11 percent at Virginia’s other nine institutions,” the report states. “Spending...
