My previous blog post had to do with the state's funding of financial aid to the students in Indiana. This article is the result of the increasing amount of financial aid that is now being provided to young people. Purdue University has enrolled more students this year than the last. Also, Indiana University set a record this week by containing well over 100,000 students within its eight campuses. This is a sign that more people are being provided with the opportunity to excel into their furture. Even though we are basically giving more of our money to the government, do you think its worth it? I think yes because if our money is going towards anything in this corrupted economy, it needs to go to the future of America. I like the idea of more young people getting a chance to succeed and possess the "American Dream". This article clearly proves that point.

Mallory,
ReplyDeleteThis article brought a lot of thoughts to mind. On the up-side, I think it's amazing that the SAT rates at Purdue were up 9 points this year altogether, and like you said, more students are getting a chance to excel. On the down-side, could it be that more students are being able to attend universities simply for the financial side of things? So that the universities are receiving more money from students? And if that is the case, is it immoral or unethical for them to do so?
