An Unexciting Update

I know I've mentioned before that the school paper is a thing of beauty; it's a beautiful thing. (Yes, I repeat for emphasis.) It also keeps me informed as to what is going on here on campus. It's not so easy going back to school here; it's not easy being a traditional student going here.

-I wasn't the only one affected by the student loan delay. In fact, I'm only one of tons of students who could not register for classes while waiting for financial aid. Many could not add classes at all.

-There's soon to be caps on enrollment to 12 quarter units per quarter. Except you're not full time until you hit 12. That's right; the school wants to make it harder for students to be full time. In many instances, if you're not full time, you can't get financial aid. Not only that, it would force students to be in school for more quarters, and since the school charges the same for 6.1 units to about 16 units, in the end it'll cost the student more.

-Raising tuition 30% and reducing classes is just... A douche bag move. There, I said it.

Of all things the economy needs, reducing the future work force by making sure there's no school for them is high on the list of things not to do, I'm sure. I don't know, I'm no economist. I'll ask an economy major for clarification, maybe. Either way, there's a monkey wrench in my plan to finish school to be employable... And that's the school and the government treatment of education.
