  • Says you.* - By Yosterizer May 5, 2024 at 10:47:06 AM
  • It’s all some sub bullet to the main point. The Right is definitely adopting Nazi policy of trying to remake the education system. Replace curriculum and re-write history. That is undeniable. For Univ of Florida, that is easier than say UofM. So the the strategy for Michigan will be to pull as much funding as they can. Newsflash.. - By xcheck May 5, 2024 at 10:15:56 AM
  • Yes, of course*** - By craig May 5, 2024 at 10:21:10 AM
  • Wrong. I took the logical position. Orji’s upside being higher than an elite college QB and Heisman candidate is ridiculous. My position wasn’t extreme at all, sorry bro.* - By MasterBates May 5, 2024 at 10:06:38 AM
  • Yes, you were obviously taking the more reasonable position viz-a-viz Gabriel. My poiunt in referencing that particulat right-margin fight is... - By craig May 5, 2024 at 10:13:02 AM
  • You are overanalyzing. Part of it was the frustration of arguing such a ridiculous premise. Add to it the take that “maybe” Oregon has a better QB room. * - By MasterBates May 5, 2024 at 10:14:41 AM
  • LOL. I'm not wounded by "over-analyze." (I'd much rather be an over-analyzer than an under-analyzer) - By craig May 5, 2024 at 10:26:56 AM
  • Don’t think so, Gabriel became the focal when Harbaughdessy basically said Gabriel sucked. * - By MasterBates May 5, 2024 at 10:38:33 AM

  • Vance or Stefanik. Scott may have a conscience which is an absolute dealbreaker (cost trump the 2020 election) Vance and Stefanik dont. They would gladly shred the constitution and replace our constitutional republic with an authoritarian system of governance*** - By Cincywolve May 5, 2024 at 09:39:50 AM
  • Scott refused six times to say he’d accept the results of the election on Meet the Press today.* - By gbmcq May 5, 2024 at 10:31:42 AM

  • HBO was wrong. It is certainly not the new black. * - By jhamm May 5, 2024 at 09:33:12 AM
  • He just says crap he doesn’t understand. The bigger issue is his base laps it up.* - By dugfresh May 5, 2024 at 09:25:44 AM
  • That's the most annoying part. It's an all act. Trump is obviously pro-choice, always has been. He's not religious, for fuck's sake the guy trying to talk about the Bible is painful to watch. Pro guns? Can you imagine the POS with a gun? What cause his kids pay for those corrupt trips where you can shoot an animal in a cage? What a joke. Silver spoon gold toilet elitist fraud from New York, and middle American thinks he loves them.* - By gbmcq May 5, 2024 at 09:50:54 AM
  • He’s just kidding he would never propose a muslim ban or advocate for stealing an election. * - By Cincywolve May 5, 2024 at 09:29:52 AM
  • yup* - By Hank May 5, 2024 at 09:27:18 AM
  • Shock: Trump proposal running counter to our founding ideals. However, if it was back-dated to apply to the religiousity of someone's grandfather, it might have an upside.* - By ftb May 5, 2024 at 09:25:20 AM

  • If the federal government provided loans to purchase cars from accredited companies wed all agree that was aid* - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 09:11:43 AM
  • Rich is wrong. The federal student loan industry absolutely is financial support to universities.* - By Guns May 5, 2024 at 09:15:08 AM
  • A loan that I pay back is liquidity, not a handout. Call it support if you want. I think that's good support - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:16:27 AM
  • I'm not opposed to aid but think it's important to know what it is# - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 09:25:41 AM
  • Providing liquidity boosts prices. You may think it's a justified boost while outright grants are unjustified. But consider federal mortgage agencies and housing prices.* - By ftb May 5, 2024 at 09:21:50 AM
  • IMO all you have to do is change underwriting requirements or increase penalties for nonperformance. Loans provide an opportunity (for students and homeowners) but - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:23:29 AM
  • a non-market rate loan with a bunch of (non market) borrower friendly payment provisions is a benefit provided by the government. It doesn’t make it a bad thing but it is essentially giving the schools and select students a benefit* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 09:19:51 AM
  • Loans cover far less than half of the cost at a place like Michigan. The problem with colleges is not fed funding, it is out of control costs.* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:21:58 AM
  • You don’t think there is any relationship between what people are able to pay and what the education provider is asking for? The costs are enabled by the financing. To your point a school like Michigan probably could fill the class with all Uber wealthy kids paying 40k a year but hard to say what that world would look like* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 09:24:43 AM
  • I keep repeating. Loans are not new and they covered far more of the total cost in the 80s. Far more. Cost increases are not being driven by loans - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:31:18 AM

  • If you're demanding that Hillel be fully removed from UC Santa Cruz — are you an antisemite. ? - By Ed May 5, 2024 at 08:34:49 AM
  • So obviously anti-Semitic it shouldnt require a response. But like ftb notes, - By onb May 5, 2024 at 09:08:54 AM
  • Yes, although this may be mostly ignorance. Heaven knows the protesters have plenty of that.* - By ftb May 5, 2024 at 09:03:50 AM

  • Universities should just ignore these demands until the protestors get bored and go home for the summer* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:36:32 AM
  • A nice summer project for them would be to descend en masse on the Repug National Convention in Milwaukee. Stay out of Chicago. It would bring out the best in Trump on a world stage. * - By jhamm May 5, 2024 at 09:02:16 AM
  • Many of them are grad students, faculty, randos* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 08:41:35 AM

  • A core principle of todays GOP is to defund public schools and Universities* - By Cincywolve May 5, 2024 at 08:22:58 AM
  • Democrats with a pretty mixed recent history on education too unfortunately* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 08:40:46 AM
  • which thing is not like the other? - By jonpc May 5, 2024 at 09:03:35 AM
  • in chicago the CTU is trying to defund the best performing schools. Schools stayed closed for months after the COVID risks were better known and lower and remote learning was a proven poor performer. One party wants to defund education the other wants the checks to keep flowing but isn’t too focused on results* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 09:22:27 AM
  • Why are you conflating local politics with national politics? (nm) - By suede May 5, 2024 at 09:51:37 AM
  • Not speaking for Harbaughdyssey but - By jukebox May 5, 2024 at 10:49:35 AM
  • They don't get a lot of public funding. Most of their funding comes from mommy and daddy* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:30:03 AM
  • Universities currently recieve more public dollars than ever before. they get tons of federal money* - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 08:38:30 AM
  • How much does Michigan get? I believe they get 6 percent of funding from the state. I'd be surprised and stand corrected if they got a signficant percentage from the feds* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:40:42 AM
  • State funding will be dwarfed by federal grants, federal student aid, pell grants etc. Universities disguise the amount of federal aid they recieve by having it passed through students* - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 08:43:50 AM
  • I don't get the impression Michigan has a lot of students attending on grants. Urban schools probably more* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:54:02 AM
  • The proportion of students recieveing federal financial aid will be quite large at absolutely every university, public, private expensive or cheap. It's the basic nature of the university business* - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 09:04:11 AM
  • I don't buy it at U-M unless you are counting loans. I support student loans and think the rates should be lower - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:05:50 AM
  • Youre misinformed but whatever. The portion of money booked as tuition that is federal dollars in origin will shock you* - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 09:08:53 AM
  • See my post below. I think I know what I am talking about having had loans myself and put 2 kids through school (including UM)* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:14:17 AM
  • Federal student loans, too.* - By Guns May 5, 2024 at 08:54:01 AM
  • Do loans really count? The government is not subsidizing those. And they have been around forever. The difference now is that the percentage NOT covered by loans has gone up exponentially... - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:56:49 AM
  • huh? The federal government subsidizes. Literally zero risk to public universities.* - By Guns May 5, 2024 at 09:01:18 AM
  • When you take out a student loan, you are paying it back plus a high interest rate. The govt is not paying a penny - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:02:55 AM
  • no offense, but you’re nuts if you think the federal government providing hundreds of billions in loans isn’t a handout to universities.* - By Guns May 5, 2024 at 09:13:43 AM
  • See my other posts. Not going to repeat myself. I would have loved it if the govt had repaid my loans for me* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:15:16 AM
  • First many won't ever get paid back. Second the loans allow the institutions to charge much more in tuition than they otherwise would. 3rd subsidized low rates is aid in the most basic form* - By arctic44 May 5, 2024 at 09:06:57 AM
  • I support student loans as I wouldn't have gone to UM without them. If you read my other posts.... - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:13:03 AM
  • Huh? Those loans are a means to funnel money to universities.* - By Guns May 5, 2024 at 09:06:44 AM
  • Public ones are heavily subsidized* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 08:58:06 AM
  • Not sure I understand how. Rates are not low and interest accrues during education (it did not back in the 'old days') * - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:59:04 AM
  • I received subsidized loans. The rates were substantially lower than what private lenders were offering. In some cases they were less than a mortgage rate for a tremendously riskier investment* - By Harbaughdyssey May 5, 2024 at 09:15:56 AM
  • Yes, I think loans were more subsidized back in the 80s. Mine were 10 percent I think and mortgages were higher. Recently they seem similar to mortgage rates (5-7.5 range in recent years) * - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 09:20:01 AM
  • Universities maybe. But public schools?** - By xcheck May 5, 2024 at 08:32:02 AM
  • Look at Ohio TN or NC... - By Cincywolve May 5, 2024 at 08:53:38 AM
  • My District gets ~$800 / student from the state, our district is almost entirely locally funded, Ohio sucks* - By CBusBlue May 5, 2024 at 08:36:44 AM
  • I was thinking of colleges and universities. K-12 is a local issue. I think most residents would support funding their own schools for their kids* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:33:21 AM
  • Contin, who continue to pay ridiculous inflated costs. It's true that universities are out of control with spending - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:30:59 AM
  • Thòse 100 and 200 level courses in EE are mostly a waste of time and $ nm - By Mycen May 5, 2024 at 08:39:05 AM
  • Contin, public K-12 costs are not inflated imo. They have had to make cuts to offset caps on property taxes etc.* - By Rich May 5, 2024 at 08:34:48 AM
  • and who fights every school levy? MAGA tea baggers. They have been recruiting MAGA school board members to disrupte the school boards (see Lakota in Ohio )**** - By Cincywolve May 5, 2024 at 08:56:56 AM
