Dorm life and ‘optional lectures’ create a vacuum in which to balance work and personal time. How to spend our time is a challenging choice that students are certainly trusted to make...
Yale University announced Monday that it would dramatically increase spending from its endowment, drawing praise from federal lawmakers who have criticized universities for hoarding growing endowment funds while tuition rates continue to rise.

His relative shortage of funds forced him to accept public financing with its $50 million national spending limit in the primaries, a restriction that could severely limit his ability to compete with Obama and Clinton going forward. The problem is not just national; there are state-by-state spending limits for candidates taking federal matching funds. That means that in New Hamsphire, Edwards will be able to spend...
