Universities feeling the economic crunch

As the government continues in stagnant woe, I have to ask: Who really needs assistance?
While automobile companies and banks—and let’s not forget companies using private jets and giving million dollar bonuses—continue to reap help from the government, higher institutes of education are feeling the burden too.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Morehouse College and Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta have both cut 100 staff positions this month. Clark Atlanta has even cut all physical education classes! Isn’t PE fundamental?! With talks of a stimulus bill to aid schools across the country, its seems that education may soon be pushed to the forefront as a priority. The article says nine out of 10 students at Clark Atlanta need financial aid to attend the private school. I can’t help but think that the economy has forced some 20-somethings to leave the school of their dreams to transfer to state-funded schools.
If you are a 20-something who has reconsidered higher education, transfered to a cheaper school or even decided to start at your local community college for the time being, please contact 25 Sense.
