Higher learning institutions have a responsibility of ensuring that students are being catered for as the latter face diverse challenges such as alcohol and substance abuse, among others within and outside the campuses. This can be done through creating a relatively comfortable environment that helps in resolving the challenges likely to arise. For instance, a lot of input in terms of resources such as facilities, skilled human resource, technology, space, inter alia is essential for any higher…

My belief is that pursing a college degree still has worth and value. Pursuing higher education is not only economically and…

1. What have been the effects of the privatization of public higher education? Have you been personally affected? The effects of privatization have been to weaken the state school systems. The weakening has had the effect of decreasing the quality of education that can be obtained from a higher education state university.

Higher Learning: The Poor Man’s Gain Higher education is expensive. That is something most people can agree on. While researching college tuition rates and expenses, it is easy to see that most of them cost upwards or the same as the average cost of a brand new car, and that is just for in-state students, out of state students can cost triple that amount.

impressed with the readings for this class. When it comes to incivility, it is interesting to see that even though it has been published in a book and articles have been written, there are still those who do not understand the magnitude of this issue in higher education or in the general public.
