Abstract

Should public universities turn private because of the government budget cuts which gives less money to state school's budgets? The articles and books i write about show how state governments can help fix the issues of state budget cuts to the point that private industries and the government can work together.

This research paper I have written over the last semester has influenced me to think that the government has many flaws when it comes to higher education. I feel like everyone should have the chance to have a higher education but the government does not care as much about that because of the huge deficit cuts. I feel like we need to change the way we think about education because its very crucial to every single citizen of this country. It makes me think about how maybe my major, economics, can help change what is going on in this country.

My case is that I feel that privatization is a very risky business to state universities but if you handle your investments the right way it will be a total success.

Chea, T. (2010). For students, shrinking state spending is increasing competition for college slots. Community College Week, 22(13), 7-7. Because of cuts in college budget, many students are having increased competition in getting into a state college. This is happening because of the economic recession. Many students are looking for cheaper tuition and this is causing admissions at state colleges to reject more applicants. Also in the article it is showing that they might take students who have more money than others by looking at their finances.

Levenson, E. (2009). Hard times on campus. Fortune, 159(8), 74-79. Middlebury College is in major debt, up to over 270 million dollars. They are trying to find ways of losing debt by starting online courses that will decrease the amount of professors they need. Many applicants who were accepted will probably reject the college because this college was used mostly for financial aid and now they can’t afford to give many people aid.

I changed my decision on my topic for my essay. I want go back to the idea of privatization at universities. Is it a good idea to let businesses give money to schools? Will this help out the budget in a good way or will businesses have to much control of what goes on at the school?

The RIOT tutorial helped me figure out many things while I was researching my topic. It helped me narrow my research question. It helped me learn about sources using databases that Rutgers lets me use. It showed me how i can use keywords to search a book. It also helped me find the difference book and journal citations. It was a very easy application to use. I understood everything it taught me.

I would ask
-How do i read a Call number on a book? What does it indicate?
-Where can i request a book that is not in stock?
-How does the easy library loan work?
-Is there late fees?
-How would I know if my library card is expired?

After the first few classes, I think i might have changed my mind on what my topic will be. After our professor showed us this book on Rutgers sports and how it affects the university as a whole seems very interesting to me. I will read the book and research as much as i can. I feel that the money from schools would help the university out as a whole, but I guessI will find out.

I would like to write for my essay about how the affordability of state schools such as Rutgers University has changed the acceptance rates. I feel that because of the recession that many families are more likely to send there kids to state universities because they are cheaper. Does that mean acceptance rates will get lower? Does that mean maybe one day the schools such as Princeton will maybe be equal to Rutgers?
