Veterinary School the Latest Bad Deal in Higher Ed

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“When I was in college, the conventional wisdom among students was that veterinary school was even harder to get into than medical school. Presumably this was because there were fewer veterinary schools than there are medical schools. I don’t know if that’s even true, but that’s what we thought, and it was therefore assumed that veterinary grads were rare and that vets would always make a good living.  No one even mentioned, back then, the massive debt loads that could be involved.  Well, it turns out that demand for vets is falling, and that many vets nevertheless have six-figure debt loads while the starting salary is down to $45,500.”

Colleges attempt to avoid tuition cost scrutiny by piling on student fees

Posted on by

“Student fees have for years been often criticized as a kind of stealth, second tuition imposed on unsuspecting families. But such fees are still on the rise on many campuses. And though their names can border on the comical – i.e., the ‘student success fee’ – there’s nothing funny about how they can add up.  At the University of California Santa Cruz, where tuition runs to nearly $35,000 for non-residents, students every year pay more than 30 additional fees 2014 including a small charge for what’s billed as ‘free’ HIV testing. Students at Oklahoma State University are responsible for covering 18 different fees, including a ‘life safety and security fee.'”

Behind the Scenes With The Trans-National Elite

Posted on by

thelrcblog-50016

“In the hallowed halls of the transnational elite, falling down drunkenness is viewed as just another day at the office. United Nations unelected senior level employees living off the labor of others are routinely voting thumbs up or down on another bloody ‘humanitarian intervention’ whilst incapable of exercising even basic motor skills. One wonders the state of the unelected rulers of the universe when matters such as the destruction of Libya are being put up for a vote. No wonder the United Nations was not able to see through the blatant lies of the NGOs advocating for a NATO-led invasion of Libya: they could not see beyond their own booze-filled snouts.”

10 things the FBI won’t fire you for

Posted on by

“A year-in-review email recently circulated to employees at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that leaked online this week (PDF) reveals a series of disciplinary actions taken against agents during 2012.  While some of the agents’ transgressions were entertaining for how out-of-line they got, it’s also particularly interesting to highlight what the bureau does and does not consider a fireable offense.  While things like committing check fraud, spying on a supervisor and purchasing child pornography absolutely did trigger terminations in 2012, here are 10 other things the FBI apparently will not fire you for.”

Colleges Lose Pricing Power

“Facing stagnant family income, shaky job prospects for graduates and a smaller pool of high-school graduates, more schools are reining in tuition increases and giving out larger scholarships to attract students.  Moody’s also attributed the enrollment decline at some public universities to a ‘heightened scrutiny of the value of higher education’ after years of tuition increases and stagnating family income. The credit-rating firm said in its report that more students are ‘increasingly attending more affordable community colleges, studying part time, or electing to enter the workforce without the benefit of a college education.'”

Student Debt Bubble Officially Pops; 90+ Day Delinquency Rate Goes Parabolic

Posted on by

“It shouldn’t be a surprise, at least to our readers who read about it here first, but what will stun the general public are the two charts below, the first of which shows the amount of 90+ day student loan delinquencies, and the second shows the amount of newly delinquent 30+ day student loan balances. The charts speak for themselves.”

The Dwindling Value of a College Education

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/coll-earnings1-e13481532963431.jpg

“Real earnings for young college grads have fallen by over 15% since 2000, or by about $10,000 in 2011 dollars. That is if they have a job in the first place. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates continues significantly higher than for the population as a whole.  There are a few things going on here.”

Is the “Ron Paul Revolution” Too Dangerous for Auburn?

Posted on by

“The odds that Ron Paul would win the Republican Presidential primary this year were always pretty slim. But you wouldn’t know that from the overheated response one student supporter at Auburn University in Alabama got when he dared to place a sign supporting Paul’s candidacy in his dorm room window last fall. Perhaps fearing that a wave of Ron Paul mania would sweep uncontrollably over Auburn, the sign was only up for three hours before officials demanded that student Eric Philips remove the poster from his window, ostensibly for safety reasons.”
