...endowed peers is to imply that these professors are the dominion of public universities. Yet, these professors do not belong to public institutions any more than they do to the Ivies. Rather, they choose to teach at Harvards, Yales, and Princetons because of the intellectual opportunities that such positions afford. Indeed, the meritocratic sensibilities of American education dictate that the best educators should teach at the strongest schools and for the highest pay. It is this critical concentration of bright minds and prolific resources that both fosters and generates high levels of thought and discovery. Indeed, a study of America?...
...public scorn is absurd. Far from serving as a bastion for the elite, the Ivy League has spearheaded the recent movement toward socioeconomic diversity in higher education. Rather than reinforcing social stratification, Harvard and its sister institutions promote social fluidity by generously subsidizing those students who could otherwise not afford a university education. Providing financial assistance to over two-thirds of all undergraduates, the University can no longer be accurately labeled as a club for the fiscally fortunate.

And it likely ensures that Obama will be able to afford large TV and radio advertising buys in the remaining primary states, the official claimed...

Students on strict budgets like me stay because they cannot afford to travel somewhere. At least two dining halls should stay open for those students who stay behind.” Opening a few dining halls, as HUDS does for other breaks, would be a potential solution. Bottom-line: Kids on campus should be taken care of. There are myriad ways for HUDS to address these concerns...
...start talking about college, even if said child is merely an infant? While the USDA doesn't include college costs in its estimates, since it covers kids only up to age 18, it should take into account the amount of money parents need to save in order to eventually afford those $50,000 tuition bills. Most financial advisers urge parents to set aside a minimum of $1,000 per child a month, which alone would nearly double the government's total childrearing estimate...
