The Rusted Musket

According to this article the University system of California is raising college rates by more than 30%, which means that college costs have more than doubled in the last decade. Really makes you wonder what happened and where all the money goes. One student had this to say: “I think it’s outrageous,” Moody said of the fee increase. “They’ve already cut out a lot of our majors and programs. I’d rather they cut some of their (administrator) salaries.”  and I totally agree. Why don’t they cut the excessive teacher benefits and pay? I’ve often thought of going to teach for a State University because they get it easy… TAs do a lot of the work and they get summers off, great benefits and a rather high wage to boot… Sound like a bum’s dream job (okay I’m being a little harsh, but teacher’s wages are never looked at and/or reduced instead they cut programs and raise costs).
