...destitute and you can't even afford (never mind get admitted to) the local church school, yon can always go to public school. With even less money and with few people above the poverty level attending them, no one will bother to fix the schools. Many of the wealthier people who run governments will have their children safely in a private school...
...should the wealthier faculties who can afford to invest in bigticket items with high returns "invest" in higher pay (without cutting benefits) instead? They shouldn't always. But in this case, redirecting money toward workers makes sense. First of all, we're not talking about redirecting a huge amount. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences' share of the 4 percent hike would amount to roughly $960,000, probably about the same amount the College spends on recruiting athletes and feeding non-resident tutors...

Whereas the wealthier schools should finance the raise on their own, the central administration should earmark a tiny portion (say, three-quarters of one percent) of the upcoming $2 billion capital campaign to pay for the raise for the smaller faculties...

If affirmative action is to continue and aid to cities is to increase (and we believe both should happen), the costs must be shifted onto wealthier Americans.

While the more distant and wealthier suburbs can still claim to be free of graffiti, gangs and drugs, urban squalor is spreading into the less fortunate towns. Wander for only a few minutes from the leafy avenues of Garden City, a New York City suburb, and you find yourself in the run-down, drug-infested apartment blocks of Hempstead. Reported robberies grew by 17% on Long Island last year. They fell by 1.6% in New York...
