Healthcare Reform Papers
Friday, February 26th, 2010
President Obama’s healthcare program and his attempts to reform healthcare in America have been well-publicized. His efforts, much as they did during the Clinton administration, have only exacerbated the partisanship in Washington and this topic has proven popular with college and university professors. Many political science professors utilize Obama’s attempt to reform healthcare and to enliven the healthcare debate as important topics for term papers, essays, as well as graduate level theses and dissertations. Additionally, many college students majoring in fields such as healthcare, public administration, and even philosophy are also assigned the healthcare debate as the subject of their school work and research papers because healtchare issues are rampant like a shortage of doctors. If you need an essay, term paper, or dissertation on the healthcare debate we have numerous writers that are extremely familiar with healthcare reform.

College & Twitter
Sunday, February 7th, 2010
Some professors are finally beginning to see the light. While most colleges and universities and certainly most professors and faculty view technology as a threat, a brave few are promoting it as a means to improve the educational process and make the college or university experience more relevant for students today. An adjunct professor has just begun to incorporate Twitter into his class format by encouraging students in class to tweet notes back and forth which essentially creates another level of dialogue in the classroom. This method also encourages those who would not normally participate to begin to interact with their peers. However, there were of course some objections from the dinosaurs within the educational establishment who consider this strategy to be another opportunity for distraction. Of course, this possibility exists but just because the methodology needs to be improved does not mean that this is not an effective method to adapt, innovate and make more relevant the 21st century classroom.

Administrator Pay-Up Again!
Monday, January 18th, 2010
College administrator pay is up again! Enough is enough. International students already pay as much as 3X what regular students pay for tuition in the US and in the UK as well in most instances. A recent article in the New York Times points out that despite the global recession and ongoing financial hardships that many students face, college and university administrator pay went up by an average of 1.1%. This might not seem like much but what the article also points out is the ridiculous amount of money that these administrators make. For example, the President of Ohio State University makes about $1.6 million! $1.6 million! Furthermore, many community college Presidents make in the area of $400 thousand annually and up! There is nothing that college and university Presidents do that deserve these types of exorbitant salaries. This is especially alarming considering that while these administrators are giving themselves raises, increases in student tuition, fees and college texts are going up even higher to pay for their ridiculous salaries. Where will it end?

Military & Education Assistance
Wednesday, January 13th, 2010
The military in the United States has seen a huge influx of service members over the past 6 and 7 years and these service members are qualifying for educational assistance with the GI bill and other programs to pay for their higher education after they leave the military. Additionally, the military also pays for school while service members are in the military and this provides an enormous opportunity for military personnel to complete their tours of duty with college degrees or advance training or both. Military personnel and people leaving the military have the opportunity to attend college and university in a way more than at any previous time in the past and there are a host of online tutoring and research companies such as ours and others that can make this transition easier.

Degress = Practicality
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
The New York Times points out that college degrees and the schools that offer them are now attempting to make these degree more relevant to the workplace. Students are more concerned about their employment prospects now than at any time in the past and this is a critical shift in college student mindset. It also says something about the character of what a college education has become and what sector of society is defining what it means to be educated. This is why universities such as the University of Phoenix have been so successful because while most traditional universities tend to look askance at the University of Phoenix, almost all universities are now employing almost the same exact online format for some or all of their programs that the University of Phoenix has employed for years–don’t believe me, even Harvard now offers online degrees and online learning platforms and courses–see the Harvard Extension School. However, for those who are concerned about their employment prospects take a look at the University of Phoenix’s online programs that are targeting the workplace specifically:

Administrator Pay-Outrageous!
Thursday, December 24th, 2009
A recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education in the United States (US) discusses the level of pay for many of the nation’s top private universities. In this global recession when many families the world over a struggling to simply purchase food and many of people are returning to school in order to improve their economic outlooks, the barriers to gaining a better education or new job skills through training are constantly going up. The article notes that university presidents such as Rensselaer’s College President, Shirley Ann Jackson, receives more than $1.6 million annually. I’m sorry, and what the hell does a college president do that’s worth $1.6 mllion annually–provide strategy? This is ridiculous and people wonder just why college and university tuition rates are skyrocketing in a manner that is far outpacing inflation. Until the egregious (some might say almost fraudulent) salaries of these top university and college administrators are reigned in the cost of higher education will certainly continue to rise at a rate higher than inflation making it far more difficult for people to begin or complete the higher educations.
