uncommonsense, otter is right, actually, and you're version of YSU is outdated. Many people come to YSU from all over the states and from other countries at this point, but I'm sure you don't have that data in front of you and are just speaking out of what it used to be.
In any case, YSU is doing nothing different here than any of the other state universities that have been shafted by Governor Kasich in his defunding of higher education. Like Grilli said in the article above, university's run on two things: state funding and tuition. If state funding declines, they need to make up that loss elsewhere. Predominantly it means a raise in tuition. If it isn't that, they'll find other ways to charge to accrue the money they need to operate. It's simple math.
zz3, how stupid of you. E. LeClede and Blueberry Hill? Stop referring to bad neighborhoods to justify your prejudice. This is a place going in the downtown, which is one of the safest downtowns of any city in the state of Ohio. And THAT IS a fact.
Oh, here is behind-the-times DeSouza once again, arguing from a series of conditions that made sense about 8 to 10 years ago and further back, yes, but clearly he hasn't been speaking with the younger generation of Republicans and Libertarians who strongly believe--even those Christians among them--that same sex marriage should be legal.
Your argument is old, and would only make sense a decade or more ago, DeSouza. Get out of your old man Vindy think-tank office and actually talk to the generation of 45 years olds and down. They're making decisions now as the old tightwads continue to die off.
"over-educated and barely literate" kurt? Really? I would think someone who is educated, period, is literate.
I think you don't understand the term "literate" and are perhaps under-educated. That's why you don't understand the terms you are using, as many illiterate people tend to do.
Also, I have a family member who is a welder. He's a fine person. I just think you yourself are upholding manual labor jobs as the answer. The true answer isn't any one thing. You disparage college educated people as elitist, but you sir, make the manual labor positions seem just as elitist in the sense of giving them more importance than a broad education beyond a technical skill set.
Oh the shale industry? You mean the industry that's poisoning our water as we speak and nothing's being done about it? Well, yeah, good jobs there. Real good.
There's a term called "wage slavery". Google it, since you seem to think you can learn everything a person needs to know by googling.
He will find a new job at a much better place of employment because of this. People can see a good person by their actions, and he followed his impulse for goodness.
The Catholic church is a shambles and the world knows this. They have no standing when it comes to talking about what is right and wrong when they help their priests cover up their dirty deeds against children.
Oddly enough kurtw, there are a number of articles you can find online right now, just by googling (as you mentioned) that will inform you that the majority of employers these days are looking for highly analytical employees who majored in things like the humanities. All that "culture" stuff you mention. You don't get that from vocational training. You have stated assumptions that only pertain to this region. Many students want to leave this region. That means we need to make an education in things other than vocational training available to them.
The rest can weld and stay around here if they want to, though I'm not sure why they'd want to, when the only jobs available are for manual labor at the wages of a slave.
