...shame," said Christopher S. Queen, Dean of Students for Harvard Summer School, of OSAPR's closing. "That's a real shame, because we rely on them in the summer. Obviously [the students] will have other resources, but the loss of that program this summer was a disappointment to us." According to Queen, over 2,000 students will live at Harvard this summer...

But the Obama Administration is changing all that, having directed $1.2 billion to pay for summer jobs for youths. Every state is now flush with stimulus dollars - ranging from about $3 million (in Wyoming, South Dakota and other low-population states) to $186 million (California) - to fund local job programs...
