If tuition and fees go up, just mow an extra lawn or two. State's not an expensive school. 2/2/2008 7:32:28 PM |

There's been some question about the "getting out of classes" thing -- basically I'll write anyone a letter who needs one, asking their professor to excuse them from class.
But the way the University's rules are written, it's still totally in the professor's discretion as to whether or not they'll do it. In some cases entire classes have been canceled already (typically humanities) but in some others (typically engineering) the professors won't budge at all.
Regardless, I'll write the letter -- just send me your name, your professors name and the class you'll be missing.

Could it be because engineers will make money to pay back that tuition increase when the graduate?
At least we don't have that joke of a pirate captain representing the student body this year, what a travesty that was... 2/4/2008 12:29:42 PM |

I was going to say it's because engineers have real majors...
And regardless if I'll make back the money or not, I'd rather not pay it 2/4/2008 1:24:15 PM |

allow more out of staters into the schools and hike the tuition just for them -- if they want to come into the state, they foot the bill for our growth 2/4/2008 5:08:37 PM |

What kind of lawns are y'all mowing? We're talking about $400 over 4 years vs $1,000 over 4 years -- back when I was in high school I'd have been lucky to make $600 in an entire summer mowing lawns, much less from just one or two 2/7/2008 1:31:22 AM |

Alright. Wait tables. If you do it in Cary, you can make upwards of $200 in one night. 2/7/2008 1:39:44 AM |

Apparently either a) you are republican or b) you're just slow on the whole State school concept.

^ Thanks Nick, it turned out real well! Sad thing is that this was supposed to be a system-wide thing -- ECU had 1 person, UNC had 3, everyone else (except NCSU) had... 0

This little nugget seems to be overlooked every time:
The Constitution of North Carolina, Article IX: Education, Sec. 9. Benefits of public institutions of higher education --
Quote : | "The General Assembly shall provide that the benefits of The University of North Carolina and other public institutions of higher education, as far as practicable, be extended to the people of the State free of expense." |

After advocating for a 29% tuition increase, Bev Purdue justified the position by remarking "The students have openly admitted that it's beer and party money"

In my experience, modern day colleges are just educational corporations that seek to milk any and every penny from its attendees and will be treated as such.
My earlier comments reflect an attitude from 3 years ago, when tuition was going to hike significantly. I was at a point where I couldn't afford to pay the then-current tuition. I was told by my peers to mow extra lawns to cover the cost.
Ideally, a public school would be free. 2/20/2008 3:29:51 AM |
