What word defines the social formality of an innernet forum?
Poo-flinging monkeys. Although, that's two words.
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

i believe i brought that point into play... it's overpriced. the price charged has no logical backing. it's high, well because everyone else is high. "faculty time"... "TA time"....???
Believing that education is overpriced is not the same as claiming that it costs the school nothing and should be free. I'm not sure where you're going with this one.
"lost prospective students"?? lower costs to be competitive.
"grade statistics". hahahahaha
Competition in academia has little to do with cost. Not that cost competition makes any sense at all given that you claim all schools hold the cost artificially high.
And believe it or not, people are willing to pay more to go to a school that they think they will get more out of. Things like attrition rates and grades make a difference.
"opportunity cost"?!?!!? how 'bout 'sunk cost'. wasted barrels of money that will never be recovered. may as well go to vegas and bet "19"
Well, while you tend to paint in overly broad strokes, there is a salient point here. Not everything requires a college education. Many things don't. I think that's why you see so many complaints anymore about young people struggling to pay off school loans. It's not because the cost has gone up, because it certainly has; it's because we're sending more and more people to college who study something they can't make a solid career out of or for whom the benefits of the degree will not pay for the cost of the degree.
This isn't empirically true, however. Technical fields in particular require some more education. It can go overboard at times.
those who can do, those who can't teach. and that counts just as well for $50,000/year colleges and it does for public grade schools. one, if motivated, can learn anything they want in a variety of ways. online, at home, in the university of phoenix, works just as well as any classroom. sure, if i want a doctor i would prefer someone with hands on training in a teaching hospital... but mr accountant/lawyer/liberal arts yahoo can learn the basics of what they need to know, then go off into the workplace and develop their life's work.
In some cases this is true. It isn't the case for all, though. Businesses also wouldn't like this much, because even if it is a low standard, a degree is a standard. If everyone is self-taught (and I think you'd find that many people wouldn't have the motivation to self-teach), the businesses hiring take a bigger risk. Plus, if you expect that most of your career learning happens on the job, businesses will have to account for the more extensive training they'll have to give to many new employees - which would likely mean wages go down.
talk business with a business. university 'business' is grossly subsidized and funded with free money - yet they continue to raise prices for no reason. no real business gets to operate under similar circumstances.
Well, your unsubstantiated conspiracy theories aside, you do raise a good point. There certainly needs to be more transparency with public schools, their costs and their pricing. And the textbook industry.
Some say that if you're not taking flak, you're not over the target.
I just wonder why the goal seems to be taking flak.

That chain reaction makes a radical assumption that we're starting off with a normal person here.
I'm charitable.

College administrators are certainly responsible for determining the expense and academic benefit of a one year versus a four year academic scholarship. College administrators by all rights should be equally responsible for determining the expense and athletic benefit of a one year versus a four year athletic scholarship.

Let's see...
Erik Johnson or Kevin Wehrs?
Jonathan Toews or Darcy Zajac?
Mason Raymond or Jordan Fulton?
Louis Leblanc or... anyone else at Harvard?

NCAA scholarships are awarded for one academic year at a time. There are no guaranteed four-year athletic scholarships in NCAA Division I or II, and one-year scholarships can be renewed annually for a maximum of five years within a six-year period. Your point is senseless.

There you go Harley throwing facts into a perfectly good rant.
