    College tuition has been a major topic these days. For a long time, people did not pay much attention to tuition. Today, things are changing. More and more people are realizing how expensive tuition has gotten and now they want that to change. Authors Elizabeth Marcello and James Skoufis argue the situation. Marcello, a sophomore at the College of William & Mary wrote, “The Case Against Free College” in 2014. Marcello is currently a member of the College Republicans. Skoufis, who is a member of the New York State Legislature wrote, “The Case for Free College Tuition” in 2014. When Skoufis was elected in 2012, his number one priority was making his state’s public colleges more affordable. The purposes for these two articles are to show the readers that there are different reasons why college should or should not be free. Although both articles are well organized and they both used rhetorical analysis, the one that is more realistic and likely to happen is, “The Case Against Free College.”…

    College education, in general, is a very controversial topic amongst society mainly in America. The articles “The Purpose of Higher Education” by Richard Kahlenberg of The Chronicle of Higher Education and “America’s Most Overrated Product: The Bachelor’s Degree” by Marty Nemko also of The Chronicle of Higher Education both address these issues associated with college education. Colleges have become a business, often times seeing students as revenue instead of students wishing to learn (Nemko 2). College are building towering, very elaborate buildings, and creating a website that shows everything the college has to offer but leaves one important aspect out: it’s rate at getting college graduates jobs, how much a student learns, and really spends at that institution. College isn’t connecting with its students’ who attend as it once did. Very large lecture classes are a main contributor to the separation of professor and student. This is causing roughly 44.6 percent of students’ nationwide to become dissatisfied with the quality of education they are receiving (Nemko 2). Also, approximately 43.5 percent of students’ nationwide are frequently reporting that they found themselves being bored in class in surveys from the Higher Education Research Institute at the Univ. of California at Los Angeles (Nemko 2). Nemko adds, “A 2006 study supported by Pew Charitable Trusts found that 50 percent of college seniors scored below “proficient” levels on a test that required them to do such basic tasks as understanding the arguments of newspaper editorials or compare credit-card offers” (2). Despite the inabilities for colleges to produce well rounded, qualified individuals, they are constantly being given more taxpayers dollars and allowed to raise tuitions (Nemko 2). According to Nemko, “College should be held at least as accountable as tire companies are” meaning that…

    Pryor raises complaint against the NCAA’s decision to adopt Proposition 16 to purposefully improve graduation rates among black student athletes. Proposition 16 is a neutral policy that requires incoming freshman that want to participate in NCAA athletics to maintain certain requirements as a high school graduate. These standards under Proposition 16 include the number of core classes raised from 11 to 13, an additional two elective courses, completion of four years of English compared to three, and a sliding scale for SAT/ACT scores combined with a student’s GPA that follows accordingly, the…

    Facts: Petitioner law student was placed on academic probation after her first year of law school. A year later, having failed to maintain a minimum cumulative average as required by respondent law school's rules, she was dismissed after a hearing of respondent's academic status committee. She sought reinstatement in an action under N.Y. C.P.L.R. 78 alleging that the decision was arbitrary and capricious, and that her poor academic performance was due to three professors' irrational testing and grading procedures. She argued that the committee failed to give sufficient weight to various personal factors and that the dismissal was in retaliation for complaining about her professors.…

    Students enrolled at community college are lost high school graduates and employees seeking to gain certain skills is the minor persuasiveness found in the argument. This statement is persuasive due to the audience of a select few higher class individuals, whom probably never attended community college. Farrington opens the readers to categorize community college students within these two stereotypes. The lack of morals demonstrated in his approach to stereotyping, reveals an ad hominem fallacy. The biased tactic of bullying to get his way leaves readers disgusted by Farrington’s stereotypical remarks. More or less, Farrington unsuccessfully argued his way into an abysmal ending with his personal attacks. If personal accounts of students continuing towards a university but were confined by financial obligations was stated, a more intelligent, unbiased argument could have been…

    O’Neill has aided many students into getting the good education that they want. Students from Hartford are able to go to places like Glastonbury for their education because of this case. Although this case has been working, it still needs improvement. CtMirror.org states, “The desegregation of Hartford schools has been taking place for the last 20 years and there are changed to be celebrated and others that merit further inquiry.” One problem with this case has been the amount of time it has taken. 20 years to integrate schools is uncanny. The process has taken an extensive time and needs to speed up. Schools still, after 20 years are not fully…

    In December 1973 the plaintiff, Robert Steinberg, applied for admission to the defendant, the Chicago Medical School, as a first-year student for the academic year 1974--75 and paid an application fee of $15. The Chicago Medical School is a private, not-for-profit educational institution, incorporated in the State of Illinois. His application for admission was rejected and Steinberg filed a class action against the school, claiming that it had failed to evaluate his application and those of other applicants according to the academic entrance criteria printed in the school 's bulletin. Specifically, his complaint alleged that the school 's decision to accept or reject a particular applicant for the first-year class was primarily based on such nonacademic considerations as the *806 prospective student 's familial relationship to members of the school 's faculty and to members of its board of trustees, and the ability of the applicant or his family to pledge or make payment of large sums of money to the school. The complaint further alleged that by using such unpublished criteria to evaluate applicants the school had breached the contract, which Steinberg contended was created when the school accepted his application fee.…

    After reading, annotating, and analyzing the following article, “Petition to Waive the University mathematics Requirement”, I concluded to say No to his request. I don’t think that Mr. Adams should be exempted from taking the math requirements because of several reasons. First, his arguments presents that the college drops a class that is required for everyone that is in the same major as him. This is not reasonable because this challenges the very system of assessing classes to students. If they waive this class for him, any student can present a case in which they would want their class to be exempt. Also there is a flaw with his argument. In the 2nd paragraph Mr. Adam states, “If forced to comply with ASU’s algebra requirement, I will be needlessly preventing from graduating in time to enter law school next fall and face an idle academic year before my next opportunity in 1994.” (Adam, par2). However, Mr. Adam says something that contradicts his former statement in paragraph 11, “In fact, I am more than willing to substitute another course or two in its place. I am not trying to get out of anything hard or distasteful, for that is certainly not my style.” (Adams par.11). He stated that this math course would delay his graduation, but says a few paragraphs later that he would rather substitute this math course for something that is “useful” towards his career.…
