Essays on Tuition

Choosing between public school and private school education is a nightmare for many students and their parents. It is not easy to make a choice since there are many matters to consider in this situation such as tuition fee, affordability, ease of access and quality of education. For the fortunate ones, money does not stand as an issue because, with better financial resources, it is easier for many students to get enrolled in a top academic quality school. But there are others who wish for an education with the easiest of means and this is where the debate between ...

Based upon what I have seen and heard during the last Presidential election, Bernie Sanders has emerged as my favorite political leader, whereas the newly-elected President Donald Trump fills me with shame and abhorrence to be a young college student. My opinion about these two men surrounds one issue: tuition-free four-year colleges and their unique stances on this significant issue. During the campaign trail, at rallies and lectures across the US, a big part of Senator Sanders’s appeal to younger voters was his promise to make four-year colleges tuition-free. According to Schramm & Stoetzer (2015), Sanders introduced a Congressional ...

Introduction

Technological advancements have been sweeping across different facets of the economy like bush fire. The education sector has not been left behind in the adoption and application of technology to streamline their processes. Several universities across the globe have taken a paradigm shift from the traditional manual records management to the digital records management (Alavi & Leidner, 1999). In this paper, we are going to propose a comprehensive University database used for data storage, extraction, and processing.

It is assumed that the University is currently using a manual paper-based records management system It is assumed that the University already has ...

The American society is full of different ethnicities and races. However, every ethnicity aims for better life and understanding between each other. For achievement of these goals, the better solution may be found as education. Though, it is a very complicated and controversial issue. Hence, every ethnicity has different perspectives of the process of obtaining the education. On the other hand, it should be mentioned that the opportunities for getting an education are not equal. Therefore, this inequality forms a level of education among the popularity of the USA. This issue has been deeply investigated among the sociologists and ...

Health care has always been a basic human need and a part of the heritage of people. As a result, health care can be considered as a product of the collective efforts of the previous generations. Moreover, taking into account the fact that every human being represents the human race, he or she has an undeniable claim upon medical aid. However, despite the fact that providing health care is the state’s obligation, its fulfillment encounters numerous problems in the US. American health care has gone through significant historical changes that have led to the recognition of the health ...

Part 2 I agree with Akers & Chingos (2014) that, “increases in lifetime incomes of college-educated Americans have more than kept pace with increase in debt loads.” According to their research, the average household with student debt has experienced an increase in annual income of $7400 while total debt increased by only eighteen thousand dollars. The statistics show that income of educated Americans has been increasing at a faster rate than the increase in student debt and the increased annual income can pay the additional debt within two to three years (Akers & Chingos, 2014). The increase in borrower’s income ...

Why do Some Students Fail to Finish College in the U.S.?

Introduction

One of the major reasons why there are individuals who could not attend or finish college is poverty. In the United States, for example, poverty is the biggest hindrance to successfully completing college. Over the past several years, college tuition has increased dramatically. As compared to other primary goods, tuition fee increases almost twice as much while the average income of the majority remains almost the same. In just two decades, it has been observed that college tuition fees have increased by 500% while basic commodities increased only ...

Introduction

A strategic plan is contextually defined as a piece of documentation that describes an organization’s process of foreseeing an anticipated future, the details of which are then delineated into goals and a vision for the organization. A strategic plan also includes an explication of how to achieve the stipulated goals, in a specific and concise manner. Steiner (2008) calls strategic planning an “indispensable act” in endeavor for high quality management of any institution. A subset of strategic planning is strategic management, which essentially offers guidance as well as direction as far as strategic planning at organization level is ...

We have recently come to a time where college education has grown to mean little apart from the increasing concern over high college tuition. Maybe it is only fair given the unreasonably huge cost which the colleges are charging, one which is rising even faster than inflation itself. But it is worth exploring the true benefit which is beyond the monetary cost itself here. College is far beyond its worth in money and people from previous generations are quite likely to be in agreement of what college meant and the benefits that it brought into their lives. With all ...

The Cost of Education

Introduction The cost of education has spiraled higher in the recent past, and this trend is not surging down anytime soon. However, the impacts of the high cost of education have restricted a majority of academically potential students in the cold as having no chance to compete for some top-rated Colleges and Universities. Notably, the middle-class has been hit so hard by the rising cost of education since they are not capable of funding their children’s education in the prestigious Colleges, and at the same time not so poor to have the necessary merit for the education subsidies. ...

Introduction

Milton Friedman was a renowned economist and a reputable advisor of the United President Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher who was a Conservative British Prime Minister. Friedman developed an influential and controversial manifesto on the role of the government in a free society on his work titled Capitalism and Freedom. His fundamental objective was to promote the laissez-faire economic policy by often disapproving the interventionist policies held by the government and their cost in economic efficiency and personal freedom within and outside the United States. It is with this light that Friedman provide his view on the significance of ...

Question 2. Why did you select this film for your review?

There are few reasons to select this film. The first one is that I have an interest in basketball, so a documentary related to basketball players is attractive for me. Then, the other reason is that this film helped me know more about the social behaviors and psychology of people. Being a neurobiology student at UC Irvine, I believe that this film helps me to ...

Executive Summary Quality education is not always equals to a higher budget. This kind of education can be achieved by maximizing the readily available resources and optimizing human resource skills, and using modern technology at human advantage. When environment and human resources, and modern technology are properly used, an excellent quality of education is possible without the fear of workers’ strike and student protests. This study wants to present a possibility of a cost less quality education among the leaders and administrators of St. Vincent Community College. It is a ...

Imagining a family whose income is $100,000 per year with a burden of repaying student loans, I think it will make perfect sense if the payer defaults. The priorities in a family set up should be listed in an order of necessity and importance, and before one gets to repaying loans, he has to sort expenses like rent and food as well as clothing. Other necessities in this list will include budgeting for gas fuel and other facilitation costs. If the income is not enough to cover for these expenses, then it is perfectly okay for the loanee ...

Question 1

Conditions That Will Exist If Tuition Is kept Below Equilibrium Price When the tuition is set at a fee which is below the equilibrium, the demand will be more than the supply; thus there will be a distress situation that is not conducive to education. This would show a good effort by the government, as people will see it as a show of constructive and admirable strength by the government to make education relatively cheap. The effect of this is an increase in the number of students’ intake and in a great way and educated society. This situation is ...

It has been said that if someone finds a job that he loves, he never actually has to work a day in his life since the job is so enjoyable and rewarding that it hardly feels like work. This idiom resonates with me because I believe that embarking upon my chosen vocation or calling for a tangible portion of my life will be challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable. As determined as I am to pursue the career of my choice, human resources manager, I understand both that I will need help achieving my objectives and that I will need to ...

Currently, the United States health care system is struggling with an acute shortage of health practitioners especially nurses who are the major and significant primary health providers and close allies of the patients on their journey to full recovery and enhancement of their well-being. Thus, there is a need to boost and support the effort that will increase the number of health care practitioners in the country. On the other hand, just like the rest of the world, United States is also an aging society and the general population keeps increasing. Notably, during the 21st century, persons of the ...

Just prior to the July 26th Movement or Revolution in 1959 by forces under Fidel Castro. Since 1965, the country has been governed by the Communist Party of Cuba. Culturally, the country is part of Latin America. The country has several cultural influences, namely, the ancient aboriginal culture of the indigenous Taino and Ciboney, Spanish influences as the country was colonized by Spain, the inflows of African American slaves and a close relationship with the Soviets during the Cold War era (Skidmore and Smith, 2005). At present, the country is one of the few remaining socialist nations in the ...

Introduction

Can colleges and universities increase their tuition rates continuously, despite the suffering they cause students? This issue can be and has been tackled by economics – specifically; we can use the tools offered by the study of price elasticity of demand to see what colleges take into consideration before raising their prices. The reaction of students to the increasing tuitions and other expenses might be a driving force on the demand side for higher education. If the students believe that higher education’s high costs will not create a value equal to or less than its cost, they might prefer ...

If I had an opportunity to advise a presidential candidate on the preparation of children for college, I would stress the importance of reforming education funding policies. The current policies do not create equitable access to education leading to an amplification of the wealth gap. The tuition fees and other costs have been rising disadvantaging the poor. Lyndsey (2015) reported about the federal data of 2013 stating that for the past fifty years, a majority of the public school students from prekindergarten to the 12th grade came from low-income households with 51% being eligible for the federal program offering ...

Every individual is unique. This is not the most outstanding statement, but the one people know from their childhood. This is actually true; human beings have different characters, habits and reactions to the same events. A lot of personal qualities are determined in the early years of each individual. The character is formed in the childhood and a lot depends on the way the parents bring their son or daughter up. The environment, friends, relatives and even country, everything is essential to influence the future of adult man or woman. The surprising thing is that in spite of the ...

Premise In the 70s & 80s, college costs used to rise at a slower rate than the cost of other services. But early in the 1990s, for some reasons, the price of college started to rise at a faster rate than the price of other services. For example: In 1971, the tuition fee of Harvard was around one-fourth of the median annual household income of $10,285. But in today’s world, the tuition fee has risen to the full value of the median annual household income to pay the full fee. For filling their tuition fee, millions of college ...

Introduction

The University of Washington has tended to turn into a commercial institution rather than it being an institution that takes heed to improve the status of the institution rather through education. This has been due to the fact that the school has tended to prefer students from outside the state because they pay more in terms of their tuition as compared to the counterparts who are from the state. However, this issue may not be as wrong as it is deemed. This essay will lay down the various factors that seem to support their move and those that may ...

The skills provided by community colleges are paramount if we are to meet the threshold required for jobs in the future. These jobs will need an associate degree or more, rather than the current jobs that can be done even without the attainment of a college degree. These associate degrees have a credential of two years thus are less expensive and favor the young people from poor backgrounds (Brand & Xie, 2010). The aim of the free community college is to boost an individual’s income through a solid background in education. Given the declining rates of enrollments in colleges, ...

Paul Marx and Warren Hartenstine present two contrasting arguments on whether college athletes should be paid or not. Marx highlights various disparities in earning between college players and their coaches and point at the need to pay college players. He argues that most of the players are blacks who come from poor socio-economic backgrounds and have not been involved actively in academic work (Marx 1). On his account, Hartenstine argues that college athletes should not be paid because eighty-five percent of student athletes graduate with various academic qualifications (Hartenstine 1). About sixty-seven percent of these graduates are professional and ...

Abstract

Canadian immigration has been one of the most coveted citizenships for immigrants all over the world and the Canadian government has maintained their fair and lenient immigration policy for years. With the global competition for international students, Universities in Canada have needed support from their government to attract the best talent from all over the world as these students provide billions of dollars to the Canadian economy in terms of their tuition fees, accommodation charges and other expenses. After graduation, these students can provide years of service to the Canadian economy by filling out jobs, paying taxes and buying ...

Starbucks is one of the most world renowned coffee shop brands in the entire world. The chain has operations from Guam to Saudi Arabia, with a huge supply chain network of coffee growers from around the world providing the beans necessary to continue production on such a large scale. Its first store was opened in Pike’s Place market, which is one of the largest fish markets in the US. Company sales rapidly expanded, and the owners of the Starbucks Corporation were able to go on and make a substantial profit through efficient organization and competitive pricing; most importantly, ...

Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Nobody State University increases its tuition. Will this necessarily result in more revenue? Not necessarily. As we know, revenue depends on price and quantity of a given good or service; in the case of Nobody State, Revenue = Tuition Price x Number of Enrolled Students If tuition price increases, the number of students will likely fall as fewer students will be able to afford Nobody State and will favor its nearby competitor, Anybody Community College. As we can see, the qualitative aspect of demand is easy to grasp (increase prices, lower ...

The national student debts level is 1.2 trillion dollars. This is a staggering amount considering that the student loan program only started around the late 1970’s. The purpose of loaning money to students is to help those with financial difficulty to graduate from college and find a well-paying job in order to pay back the loan. The bill started from a good moral cause, but has resulted in disastrous consequences for the students. The loan program has had serious consequences for students, such rising tuition, delaying home ownership, and slowing the economy. The rise of student loan debt ...

The popularity of online dating apps such as Tinder, Grindr, Hinge and Coffee meets bagel and more has not only increased the dating pool for people but has also accelerated the hookup culture that has been around for a while. Hookups aren’t a new phenomenon. The sexual revolution of the sixties, growing incomes and independence of young adults means that they no longer follow the traditional route of getting married young and having kids. Young people, especially college going adults put their career ahead of marriage and settling down. This does not necessarily mean that they lose out ...

As the Republican and Democratic conventions continue to loom everywhere, none of them has deeply discussed the issue of higher education. This is very unfortunate. The American economic security demands each generation to be educated so as to conquer the environmental, social and technological challenges. This requires a great access to university or college education. The third president of America, Thomas Jefferson, asserted that it is very imperative to have the majority of the population well educated that having only a few individuals being enlightened with the rest of the population being left in ignorance. He was of the ...

Governing structure in Texas usually includes the executive officials, legislators and state judges. The government structure has been satisfactory to some extent following the relevance of the system being executed. That could be the definition of the good side of the governing structure. On the bad side, the governing structure may be unfavorable to some citizens thus denying all the members of the public an opportunity to enjoy the pride that should come with proper governance. Also, the structure may be defined as ugly if some of the initiatives by the government are not the most outstanding and attractive ...

Playing sports like football and basketball has always been and remains to be a popular occupation all over the world. Some people go in for sports to keep in fit or just for fun, while others play sports professionaly and cannot imagine their lives without it. For the last category of people, studying in a college or a university is a great opportunity to show their worth, as many higher educational establishments are extremely concerned with sports and support athletes who are willing to play it for their college or university. However, this support has been discussed recently. In ...

This analysis considers the cost behavior of the various cost items in order to determine the cost and profit at various levels of activity. Fixed costs are costs that do not vary with changes in output. Variable costs are costs that change with changes in output. Semi-variable costs are costs that are partly variable and partly fixed. Stepped fixed costs are costs that remain at a particular level of activity but step-up to a new level when activity level exceeds a particular point (Drury, 2012). In this case, the cost items are classified into either fixed costs, variable costs, ...

Many a time have people heard about politicians who do plenty of talking. However, verbal rhetoric is only meaningful when backed by actual deeds aimed at the improvement of what politicians oversee, which is society and its welfare. The incumbent Senate President of New Jersey, Stephen Sweeney is one of such politicians who may be said to utilize his legislative authority to its limit. He has showed his aptitude in areas, such as education, property ownership, taxation, healthcare, and the protection of different social categories. Of course, as with other prominent politicians, however renowned, Sweeney has made some controversial ...

One of the major talking points of Presidential current candidate Bernie Sanders is the need to allow college to be free for all. Many "Millennials," the current generation of entitled teens and early 20-somethings that believe that rules, laws and opportunities should be theirs with no real effort on their part; free college is just an extension of that entitlement. After reviewing the available information it becomes clear that while there is definitely room for reform in the high cost of education and the extreme levels of student debt that many accrue, it becomes clear that free college is ...

The exorbitant amount of college education is an issue that has been widely discussed in the past several years. According to reports, more students are discouraged to go to school because it is simply too difficult to do so, especially for median and low-earner families. Those who push through end up saddled with the responsibility of paying staggering school loans and interest for decades, making it difficult to enjoy the fruits of one’s hard work and labor. Some of those who decides to attend school chooses to enroll in narrow technical and job- focused training under the prevalent ...

The article primarily concerns the aspirations of Mexico to offer affordable prices regarding both internet, as well as, mobile services. This is because the telecom industry of the country has been considered to be highly inefficient and also overpriced. As a result, the Congress approved a plan by the president i.e. Enrique Pena to overhaul the regulations of industry. The new regulations as proposed by the president will compel the providers of the services to sell their assets if they exude control of over fifty percent of the market share.

I did not have the intention to abandon my career because I love the idea to design and develop new products, but I knew that a 9-to-5 job does not have the possibilities to convert me into a rich person, but at least I wanted to develop the financial skills. In 2005, when I finished the high school, I started to work in a restaurant ...

Instutition:

Abstract Keywords: college athletes, coaches, profit, billions, professionals, amateurs Firstly, the fact that college athletes do not make money is not right because they are considered to be amateurs although they make a lot of money for other people. This is a business which makes billions and only college athletes do not get paid in this process. “Several college coaches have gained celebrity status and corresponding compensation packages” (Sanderson & Siegfried, 2015, p. 115). Unfortunately, the athletes only get their expenses covered, but nothing more which seems unfair because other students are allowed to earn money while still having full ...

CRITICAL ISSUES FACING COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES TODAY

Higher education issues are often taken into account less frequently than they should be. Problems facing colleges and universities are debated exclusively between direct participants of educational process and those, who some obligations concerning it (government bodies, higher education institution administration and members of student families). Unfortunately, typical representative of society rarely cares about higher education issues, having graduated from university. In fact, such neglecting scarcely has positive results, as the process and quality of contemporary higher education do matter for modern world. Indeed, graduates reflect the future of our tomorrow society, representing upcoming employees, parents and leaders. Therefore, ...

Which principle of IDEA was challenged in this case?

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 is a law that has undergone many changes to help the disabled to access proper education in schools including public ones. The core principle that was being challenged in this movie was the right of the disabled Stephen Jeffers, who was autistic, to free and appropriate education in the public school if they qualify despite their disabilities. The issue was that the School District had offered to Stephen Jeffers a program that would not qualify as appropriate according to the standards of the IDEA. Since the parents had already withdrawn ...

The Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944 (P.L. GI Bill of Rights or simply GI Bill) emerged in a bid to reintegrate World War II veterans to civilian life. The bill has its roots in the post World War I confusion with respect to the social welfare of the veterans and the poor. President’s Roosevelt’s welfare reform attracted stern opposition from veterans’ lobby groups that demanded separate treatment from civilians given their circumstances. At the height of the Great Depression, Congress tried to use the World War Adjustment Act of 1924 to alleviate the plight of veterans, ...

Introduction In terms of choosing the next step in pursuing education, it is important to think particularly about how much time and money may be spent. One also needs to consider the kind of job they intend to have in the future. Moreover, it should be noted that not all schools offer the same courses. As such, the student must consider their options when it comes to the major they want to pursue in case the schools that offer their desired majors do not accept their applications or are too costly for them. Moreover, they may also want to ...
