I have noticed ...Good to see you back at the blog!<br /><br />I have noticed similar issues with higher education in states like California, Wisconsin and Illinois. Perhaps the comparison is not the same, but I have always considered public education to be that - for the students of the their respective states. Then, in California, there are lawsuits against the UC system because they have rejected in-state students and admitted large numbers of out-of-state students. Of course, out-of-state students pay higher tuition, which compensates for the fact that state governments are funding state universities at lower and lower rates. Wisconsin has also amended its tenure requirements and Illinois' budget battle has imperiled Chicago State and other state-funded institutions. I guess the larger question and issue, then, is why aren't state governments doing more (anything?) for their constituents?A Friend in Las Vegashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681055489313630987noreply@blogger.com
