Familial stake in the ratings

Article Abstract:

A professor talks about the selection of a college for his eldest daughter. Annual university fees have reached $32,000 for Ivy League schools while many schools are not known for professors' attention to undergraduates. In-state schools are the least expensive option, but the daughter wants to study architecture, which is not offered by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The daughter wants to go to the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. It has a good reputation for professor accessibility and an important architectural school. However, it costs over $20,000 annually.

The awful choice of Clinton or ...

Article Abstract:

The US Republican party's education policy would sabotage the American education system if it wins the 1996 presidential election, says Harvey Kaye of Wisconsin University. Its policies, which differ enormously from the Democrat party's, include the re-introduction of religious prayer and a reduction in public broadcasting funding. The Democrat party, however, would include the supporting pre-school programmes and Internet usage all over America.

Why academic life is sweet

Article Abstract:

Academics at US universities should focus more on the pleasurable aspects of college life rather than constantly complain about their treatment. Professors and their families can benefit greatly from the comradeship of colleagues who tend to ignore potential obstacles such as political or age differences. Political discussions can be exhilarating and enlightening, even if the participants are politically opposed.
