of the university in which they attend? II. Student Athletes Should Be Considered Employees A valid argument that is often brought up regarding compensation of collegiate athletes is the fact of how much money and profits these colleges and universities are making solely off of the performance of their athletes. Texas A&M, the university athletic department with the highest grossing revenue from 2014 to 2015 made $192,608,876 in one year followed by Texas with $183,521,028 and Ohio State with…

When people take physical care of their bodies, their minds are able to follow the positive pattern, and that allows students to thrive academically. “Physical activity and fitness would, at best, make a modest contribution to academic performance” (Dwyer T, Blizzard L, Dean K). It only makes sense that the students who are engaged athletically are also engaged academically. According to the Primary Care Companion, one benefit of regular physical activity is increased energy and reduced…

through university education. The majority of the students don’t know the reason behind why they have to spend hours of time listening to the lectures from their professors and do what students are asked to do. By conducting several interviews with few colleagues, a chemistry professor from the University of Houston-Downtown, and with a family member; my mother, there was a vast difference in their perspective about the purpose of the university.

The Taxpayers: Our Golden Ticket To Free Education Once upon a time in swim’s (someone who isn’t me) life, there was the greatest teacher that ever lived. Swim admired this teacher very much. She taught at a prestigious private elementary school called Golden Ivy. This was one of the most expensive schools in the area. Her name was Mrs. Takyurmuny. This teacher specialized in math. Chewing gum and texting on cellphones were various activities that were not prohibited in this teacher’s…

cannot afford it. Until it becomes affordable, students will continue to literally pay the price or end up not going at all. Many students begin to think about college either their junior or senior year of high school. Every person in the United States that wants to attend college should have the chance to go for a reasonable price. Grants, scholarships, and loans are ways to help pay for college; although, they are never guaranteed. Over the past few decades, college tuition has…

Why Trigger Warnings can not be Implemented In recent discussions of trigger warnings, a controversial issue has been whether college and universities should enforce this movement that prevent students from being exposed to important academic content. A trigger warning is, according to the article The Coddling of the Mind by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, “Alerts that professors are expected to issue if something in a course might cause a strong emotional response” (Haidt, Lukianoff). These…

The first reason why student athletes should be paid is because scholarships that NCAA give to students don’t always cover full expenses (Christopher Davis Jr / Dylan Oliver Malagrino 2013). Universities promise students 4 year scholarships when NCAA only give 1 year scholarships and at any moment take the scholarship back if injuries happen or encounter takes place. Some scholarships cover the classes, books, and maybe dorms but leave out…
