President John F. Kennedy

The first Roman Catholic president, John F. Kennedy, fought through many hardships. Becoming the president at the age of 43, he went through many difficult trials to get that role due to his religion and health. Although he died early, he still managed to go beyond his presidential duties and accomplished a lot during his short term.

College tuition has skyrocketed over the past decades making the pathway to college less accessible to low-income families. According to the

“College Prices Soar Again!” “Budget Cuts Cause Even Higher Tuition!” “Higher Education Now Even Less Affordable” These are all statements that have been seen all over the media: newspapers, magazines, television, and radio. (3 SV: SV) Rising college tuition in America has been a problem for years. Many students drop out after a single year due to the pricey costs of tuition. The rapid rise can be attributed to many aspects of the economy, not just a single source. There have also been some propositions of how costs could be lowered, but these have yet to be seen. The United States has gone into a tuition crisis.

College tuition is an expensive entity to pay for and not many people have the luxury of having college being completely paid for, however, so many people that have previous experience like teachers, counselors, and parents, want students to pursue this expensive entity so their future is brighter. Why is being a college student becoming a luxury that fewer people can afford and attend to? Factors like the actual cost for college tuition, costs for higher education, the working class and their difficulties of paying for other things in addition to tuition, proposals from our government, and tuition remission, is when we begin to see how big of a problem tuition costs actually are. School is an important opportunity that I have taken like many of my teachers, parents, and government have told me to take, but I still struggle paying for it; if school is a value that people should be taking advantage of, tuition needs to be more affordable in order to do so.

College debt has risen significantly since “The Great Recession” in 2009. Due to the high college fees, students are faced with lifelong debt. If the rise continues, only the rich will be able to obtain a higher education, resulting in American education to take several steps backwards instead of improving. Although many have tried to fix college debt problem, it has mostly gone unnoticed. Specifically targeting the nation’s youth, college debt is destroying the chances of the lasting effects on the economy from fully recovering.

In 1976, the average cost to attend a four year public university was $2,175; today, the average cost to attend a four year public university is $25,000 (Snyder). This means it is 1150% more expensive to go to college in The United States today than it was 30 years ago. This obviously would create a problem on how we as people are going to pay for our higher education. Today college has become almost a necessity to have a satisfactory life, and with these rising prices some individuals believe student loans are the only option. There are many reasons as to why the prices have risen, but the one undeniable fact is that this has created a problem within our country. Which, is known as the student debt crisis, and it has been on the rise the past couple years. This problem is affecting people all around the United States, and is causing multitude of problems for them all because they wanted to pursue higher education. Wanting to better your opportunities by bettering yourself is not something that needs to be punished, and sadly that is what is happening. This problem is something that needs to be fixed for the sake of Americans and our economy, but will also take time and a multitude of steps to correct.

One of the major causes of student debt rising is the current trend with colleges in competing with opposing universities in providing unnecessary luxurious lifestyles. This raises college expenses way more than it is worth. Unfortunately, this makes even the lower universities cost too much for people in the lower class, making them have to borrow money to get the education they need be successful. If colleges just made changes that were more necessary for the students than adding

So it’s not that colleges are spending more money to educate students, it’s that they have to get that money from someplace to replace their lost state funding; and that’s from tuition and fees from students and families (Sanchez 1). While most institutions tried to keep costs down, some took advantage of the public perception that a high tuition means a quality education (Sanchez 2). The problems that students face now are rising tuition, increasing loans and lacking financial aid to compensate. The fastest growing income for public colleges and universities in our country is tuition. Most students must take out loans to make it through college now.

It is almost, or already has, turned into just one big business. Where one college or university is just competing with one another to see who could have the nicer things. Now a days, they are always building new dorms, dining halls, sports facilities, and academic halls. For example, according to Aaron Brenner, Clemson university has reportedly spent 128 million dollars on their sports facilities in the past year. They spent over 60 million ($63.5 million to be exact) on just renovating their basketball arena. Why would they spent that much money on their basketball arena? The simple answer is to make money you have to spend money. University spend money on these type things to simply try and make more money for themselves. The fact is college sports is a big income booster for most colleges. The question that comes up a lot though is, how are the universities paying for these

The quick price increase of college tuition has been an issue for over 30 years, allowing graduates to fall into large debt.

Things were looking up, the future was bright, and the debts could be paid off. When the recession hit, everybody lost, but Latino and black grads lost the most. In fact, on average, black grads lost almost 60 percent of their net worth from 2007 and 2013, Latinos lost nearly 72 percent. One reason for this loss was the decrease in median salaries. For black grads during these years, the average income dropped over 17 percent, nearly 16 percent for Latinos. Asian and white grads, on average, had salaries that continued to rise.

ohn F Kennedy and Lyndon B Johnson were thrown into the caldron of executive US politics on January 20th 1961 having been elected on a single presidential/vice presidential ticket. As progressive-liberals, their incumbency oversaw a period of substantial domestic and international change that has continued to shape America to this day. Historical assessments of each President are wide-ranging. Historians such as Robert Dallek, author of ‘J.F.K. - An Unfinished Life’, conclude that Kennedy’s premiership was one of ‘small successes and big failures’. Dallek laments JFK’s failed ‘New Frontier’ domestic program which promised federal funding towards education, medical care for the elderly, funding towards poorer state government and government intervention to aid the recession as leaving ‘a want of landmark legislation’. Conversely Public opinion of Kennedy remains very strong however. Lyndon Johnson on the other hand divides historical opinion to a broader extent. Whereas Dallek concludes that Kennedy was a man of ‘small successes and big failures’, Johnson was an exponent of ‘great achievement and painful failure, of lasting gains and unforgettable losses’. According to John Kentleton his domestic ‘Great Society’ left ‘something of Lincoln’s greatness within his grasp’ but believes that ‘Johnson’s presidency ended in failure’; a conclusion drawn from the military conflict in Vietnam and endless logistical problems with his domestic programs. This essay will argue that despite

Today colleges are growing more and more necessary for attaining a solid path towards a successful career, yet the rapidly increasing cost of tuition is driving students away from their dream of attending college, due to the preposterous amount of money that is now being demanded by colleges across the nation and world as a whole. It is sad to see students being turned away from a successful future due to the money-hungry nature of the universities that dot the globe. More and more impossible it is becoming to have a “rags-to-riches” scenario that used to highlight the American Dream, as if a student doesn’t have the riches to afford a higher education and the tuition that is drug upon its coattails, then our society is doomed to be clothed in rags forever, unless major changes are brought about to restructure and end the indefatigable growth of tuition rates across the board.
