And how some are just on the line of if they can afford to go or not. <BR/>Even Idaho is talking of upping their rates because it is costing so much to run the colleges. <BR/>So many students may have to drop out, because they can't afford the prices.. didn't see any professors or admininstration cuts in pay to cover it, so will less students mean less jobs for them?Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-83961032488374462042009-04-01T16:22:00.000-07:002009-04-01T16:22:00.000-07:00Technically the AIG bonuses weren't for a job well...Technically the AIG bonuses weren't for a job well done.
