College Fee F*** in Massachusetts

And don't think the kids don't know it.

"Strapped colleges resort to fee hikes; Mass. students feeling brunt" by Vivian Yee, Globe Correspondent / June 6, 2011

With costs rising, enrollments ballooning, and federal funds drying up, many of Massachusetts’ community colleges and state universities are turning to what they say is their only option for making ends meet: student fees.

Like the University of Massachusetts, nine of the state’s 15 community colleges and seven of its nine state universities have approved higher fees for undergraduates next year, ranging from $150 and $700 extra.

Did you see what didn't get cut?   

What is a society to do when its educational institutions are just as rotten as all the re$t??

While fees rise every year due to escalating costs, these public institutions are losing millions of dollars in federal stimulus funds next year, forcing them to adopt heftier increases than usual.

That's the excuse being used?  

No more stimulus? After over two years of alleged economic growth? 

And Massachusetts educational administrators warn that relatively large rises in student fees may become standard over the next several years....  

All for a PoS degree, kiddo.

--more--" 

Maybe you should put your trust in UMa$$, kiddo.  

Of course, we now know the real reason for college in AmeriKa: enslave students in debt so their future is spent working for banks.
