Higher Education Sets Lower Standards
Republican Assemblyman Joseph Pennacchio Thinks Rutgers's Tuition is too high. But his solution isn't any better: he'd cut state aid to the university if they raised tuition above preset percentage.
Instead of funding Rutgers and other state schools, state legislative bodies have been actively working against the school over the last four years. McGreevey was no better for the school then Christie Whitman. No one seems to notice Rutgers tuition hikes are directly related to the amount of money the state cuts from the school each year.
Instead, we think every entering class should recieve a tuition lock for 4 years-- that is to say, if you finish within 8 semesters, your tuition does not go up. We're specifying 8 semesters, though we'd suggest 8 semester over 5 years might be more appropriate. This ensures students are able to budget for four years of school.
On the other hand, the state could stop trying to finance a Newark arena and simply fully fund the University. But after all, people much rather have a few basketball games than a decent college education. Thankfully, the arena will provide tons of low skill jobs that all of the students who drop out of rutgers over tuition can work. Thanks New Jersey Legislature!
