Summary: Finding Flaws

Through this recent recession the gap for financial aid has become increasingly large due to the fact that colleges are basing some of their applications by their financial situation. This in turn creates widening on lower to middle class families who cannot send their children to school because the cost are too great to bear with large amounts of financial aid. The wealthy students are not only being accepted to these pricy private universities but are being given grant and aid so that they can make it through. The poorer students are not even given the chance to attend those school not because of their brain but because of their lack of funding. In today’s society were the upper class has become very distant to the middle and

If the education system relies most of their funding from taxes, where do they end up getting the rest of the money. The government and administration grant more money to wealthier areas than low -income areas. Wealthier communities are granted more money because they have a higher percentage of funding coming from property taxes. This leaves the low-income students at a disadvantage. People living in low income areas mainly rent and don’t own their own property. As a result of not having a house or owning property, they have little property taxes. If low -income students are not given enough money for funding a school, the students are suffering. With the lack of money causes students to miss out on college prep classes such as AP classes and Honors classes. These classes are pivotal to the students that want to pursue higher education and a road to success. For example students in the low-income areas are given a poor education. They are not given the resources, or quality teachers in order to achieve success. According to George Miller House Education and the Workforce committee, many students are not educationally ready to graduate and attend higher education (Minority 1). This is another reason why low income students should be provided the same classes as a middle class or a wealthier community. In a study, 2 million students in 7,300 schools had no access to all calculus classes, a staple in many high – achieving high schools (Minority 2). Low-income

Politicians are often heard saying that tuition at state universities should be kept low "to make education equally accessible to all residents of the state, regardless of income."

Increased tuitions are results of a variety of factors. Shrinkage of state budget and low endowments cause by the recession forcing colleges to make up the cost somehow (Lee). The government has increased their support during the recession. For example, in the form of Pell Grants which doubled over the years. Andrew Kelly, director of the Center on Higher Education Reform at the American Enterprise Institute, writes “... the increase of federal spending has been completely eroded by the rising tuition prices”(Bidwell). Higher tuition defeats the purpose of the federal government increasing their support.

Since 1974, tuition has been on the rise and has reached new heights. One reason why tuition is increasing is because of “the state governments’ unwillingness or inability to raise per-student financing” (Davidson). The government is spending less on college and moving those funds into other categories, such as the military. Furthermore, colleges are spending less on each student than they did during pre-recession (Fox). Even after the recession, the government is continuously cutting more and more from education funds. As the government cuts more from education funds, tuition cost will steadily increase to compensate the loss. Tuition increased from 1994 to 2015 is depicted in the graph on the next page. Drawing a conclusion from the graph, it is possible that if this trend continues, public colleges will approximately reach the same price as private colleges one day. The amount of financial aid given is unable to meet the needs of lower income students,

In the article "Free College? It Doesn’t Fix Everything," Richard V. Reeves (2015) explores insists that making college tuition-free may increase college entrance rates, however, would not increase the number of graduates by significant numbers.In this article, Reeves examines the Kalamazoo Promise, which began in 2006 when anonymous donors made college free for all Highschool graduates in the Kalamazoo, Michigan school district. Since the plan's introduction, more than 35 cities have adopted a similar plan to that of Kalamazoo's. The plan's goal is to create a level playing field for low-income students to have the opportunities to compete with those of a higher income class. Reeves argues that “dramatic reductions in the cost of college

His plans to increase job opportunities and increase Kansas’ revenue have completely backfired and so far, he has failed us. He assumes since if we lowered the upper classes taxes and our revenue went down, well to even that out he taxes the lower class more. That is immoral and they are lower class for a reason, the don’t earn enough money. If they don’t earn enough money with the taxes now, how do you think they’ll be able to live if their taxes are higher? How would that make others want to move and live in Kansas? Ask Kansas Governor Sam Brownback because he seems to have all the

Since taking office Sam Brownback has hit Kansas people with many taxes and also tax cuts that cripple the financial state of Kansas.”Brownback wanted to eliminate the earned-income tax credit, which had benefited the working poor”(Judis). By taking this away Sam Brownback hurt the everyday working class person by taking away this money. Some of the poor working

Recently, there has been a growing trend of hatred among Kansans, both young and old. This hatred, which outsiders may think is linked to the lack of ocean and sand, can be pinpointed to Kansas governor Sam Brownback. Brownback has been the governor of Kansas since 2011. Some consider him a likeable, family man. Others see him as the driving force behind Kansas’s downfall. To many government workers, the decisions Brownback has made serve as a lesson on what not to do. Yet, amidst the controversy that surrounds Brownback, he continues to be reelected as governor. A governor plays a huge role within states, acting basically as a smaller scale of the role a president has within the federal government. This powerful position is a major indicator

“Only 18 percent of Kansans are "very" or "somewhat satisfied" with Gov. Sam Brownback's (R) job performance” (Cruz). With an approval rating that low, it does not make sense how he could have won reelection. However, when one looks at a map of Kansas compared to other states based on political party it makes sense. According to an article in the Washington Post, Kansas is one of the ten most conservative states in the Union (Chokshi). In a red state like Kansas, the large amount of conservative voters make it difficult for a Democrat to win. Even though Brownback had a poor job rating, for most Republicans he was a more preferable option to a Democrat. In addition to having most Kansans support as soon as they see the “R” for republican on the ballot, Brownback also had the support of the Koch brothers. The billionaire Koch brothers run Koch industries and have helped fund Brownback and other right-wings who’s low tax plans will help them (Binelli). With the funds provided by people like the Koch brothers it makes it much easier to run a campaign and win an election. Despite some people’s arguments, winning an election does not mean having a good approval rating. What it means for Brownback is having a largely conservative voter base and a well funded

With all the information I previously found, I needed to look at the second participants: colleges. I needed to understand the alternative view of rising tuition levels. I came across many articles that explained some of the reasons. However, “Tuition Rising” by Journalist Dylan Matthews of the Washington Post covered the alternative views extensively. According to Matthews, one reason why colleges keep increasing their tuition is because of spending. Matthews mentions “paying faculty more, or building more sports arenas, or conducting more research” (par.1) increases spending by colleges, which in turn increases tuition. He argues that colleges believe this is the only way to provide a better education and experience for their students, so they increase tuition. In addition, Matthew argues the most important reason colleges increase their tuition year by year is because of cost shift. He claims “state governments cut subsidies for public colleges and universities all the time, which forces them to shift financial aid and scholarship money from students to current cost” (par.3). So, in order to provide aid money for the

One of the American presidential nominees Bernie Sanders, proposed the idea of free tuition for public institutions for all students. This was a plan created to help the working class and low-income family. However, according to the article “How Free College Tuition Would Become a Giveaway to the Rich”, written by Michael Hiltzik a recent study in Brookings Institution showed that the biggest gain from the free tuition are the upper-income students. The study published by Matthew M. Chingos stated that "students from families in the top income quartile attend colleges that charge about $1,200, or 20 percent, more than the colleges attended by the typical student from the bottom income quartile. Students from the upper half of income distribution would receive $16.8 billion in tuition assistance, compared with $13.5 billion going to those in the lower-income brackets Students from the most affluent 25 percent of families represent 11% of students at public colleges, but would receive 18% of the benefits if tuition were eliminated"(see fig 1). Studies have stated that prosperous families are the only to obtain the benefit out of tuition becoming free, when the idea is suppose to pose to the low income

As the government keeps making more and more cuts to the higher education budget to try and reduce the federal debt, and as public universities are needing more and more money to keep the school running properly, my tuition costs are steadily increasing every year, at an average rate of 2-4% higher than the inflation rate (Belkin, 2013). This one really hits close to home for a lot of students because the average college student cannot afford to pay tuition on his or her own and so they are forced to take out loans, which in turn adds to the federal debt even more. It makes me wonder who is really benefiting from any of
