So the next best solution, not the ideal root-fixing solution, is to get the Fed govt to say: "Ok as long as we're guaranteeing these loans, students cannot take out too much".<br /><br />--JimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-86734705437757455542013-06-18T12:19:35.561-06:002013-06-18T12:19:35.561-06:00How dumb can you get?

Do you want to fight fire with fire and beat these sonsofbitches who go by the title of "Law School Dean?" Show up to your alma mater on orientation or the first week of class with a sign around your neck that says "Class of 20__ graduate. Would you spare some change so I can make my monthly loan payment to Sallie Mae?" This movement needs to take a guerilla tactics strategy. So enrollment is down. Big deal, the deans are lowering standards and keeping class sizes the same.

The schools are FAR MORE concerned with massive fundraising campaigns for capital improvement than they are in raising money for student scholarships.<br /><br />Hell, Fordham University is in the midst of a huge, $1.6 billion renovation. Of that amount, $250 million is being devoted to the new law school building and undergrad dorms. <br /><br />http://therealdeal.com/blog/2011/01/18/fordham-university-begins-construction-on-new-250m-law-school-dorm-building-in-lincoln-center/<br /><br />“Fordham University has broken ground on its new School of Law and residence hall, the school announced today. The 22-story building, a $250 million development on 62nd Street between Amsterdam and Columbus avenues, will house the university’s law school on the bottom nine floors, including classrooms, a trial court facility and a 562,000-volume law library. The remaining floors inside the 468,000-square-foot building will be used as dorms for up to 430 undergraduate students. The building, which is scheduled to open in fall 2014, is part of a larger, $1.6 billion redevelopment of the school’s entire Lincoln Center campus. The entire project is slated to be completed in 2033.”Nandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423524039657355134noreply@blogger.com
