an increased investment in higher ed will mostly benefir educators.
I know.....it's for the children but really it's for the faculty.
At the outset, I admit that on occasion I have been called a cynic. With that disclosure, I must ask if it is really appropriate to have a university (a state university, at that) do a study of the benefits of higher education. It seems bit like asking foxes if chickens really should be concentrated in a coop.
Beware anyone who says, "Your life will be made better if you give me money".
By their calculations given the exponential rise in education spending in California in the last 20 years there should be 50 Nobel Prize candidates in every High School graduating class this year.
And the NEA is all about improving children's education.
Doesn't help the 50% drop out rate for hispanics in CA. Most of them don't attend college.
Funny how the "qualification" has devolved to "heartbeat"
Or, alternatively, you could look at it this way...
UC Cal, Berkeley, should reduce its tuition so that more of us can afford an education.
No vested-interest bias here . . . nope, nope, none.
Not much hope that the research done by the Campaign for College Opportunity would show that college was a waste of time and money.
UC Berkeley researchers come to the conclusion that higer ed should get more taxpayer money?
That's pretty earth-shattering research. Who would ever have imagined they could come to that conclusion? Wonder how many months and how many taxpayer $$$ it took them to do this research?
