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.
