Yes, this. And at least at some schools, scholarships/tuition discounts directly reduce the tuition costs (meaning individual departments receive less $$ for faculty payments), while auxiliary costs (food, dorms, buildings) remain unaffected/don’t get discounted. It’s why departments are unable to hire new faculty or…

*Sigh* OK, one more time for the people in the back— Tuition does not pay for campus food options, gyms, sports, residence life, etc. etc. These things are paid for by other costs and fees. It is true that they are used to attract students, though it’s more accurate to say they are aimed at attracting applications.…

My thing with Borat is that I don’t think he really demonstrates anything about bigotry — he demonstrates that if confronted with what seems to be a foreigner saying something bizarre, most Americans will go along with it to be polite. First, we have it drilled into our heads from early childhood to respect the…

Please don’t ruin this for me. I have so little.

It’s gross that there’s so little effort on the behalf of city governments to incentivize the build of reasonably priced housing. I get that most developers will always choose to build luxury housing if they have their choice as that’s where the profit margin is highest, but it’s in the city’s interest to have a more…

The empty houses here in Philly infuriates me. It’s ridiculous, as well as the city’s insistence to build more high rises for the affluent and not affordable housing for a city that has a poverty rate of 24.5%. And lets not even talk about the city’s ten year tax abatement.

Cartwright is fine, Taylor’s a hot monster

I think your feelings are completely justified. I think you’re making it worse for yourself by giving in to the guilt.

God damn it! Something good was finally happening for Sonja. This SUCKS :(

We always say this, but she could have been an excellent and highly-respective African studies professor who just happened to be Jewish and from suburban Kansas City.

My wife or my child wouldn’t be here today. She got preeclampsia, and couldn’t deliver vaginally. His heart rate dropped dangerously every time she got moved on her bed.
Fuck Ted Cruz.

I’m not going the argue the opposite of your point, but please keep in mind that in college towns, the university is often the biggest employer. When the university takes a huge financial hit, so does the town. But then there’s the also the obvious fact that bringing back the students brings in more COVID.

Colleges are housing as well as education. The “financial concessions” that would hurt them the most are simply leaving all of that housing empty while still paying upkeep on it. Reducing tuition to reflect a remote learning environment doesn’t hurt them as much as just losing room and board while still having to…

Paget Brewster was always great.

I loved it, and it worked as a one-season show, but I really, really hoped it would get a second season.

Because the actors had to play ball (and in fact were cast based on their athletic aptitude)

Doesn’t she also have a older sister who’s severely disabled? I wouldn’t want to risk getting her sick either.

For those of you who might call her out as a snowflake, I invite you to do some more research. Start with an episode of HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumblebee on her history before she was an NBA star.

I have no issues with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard owning a building and I think they’re being really good landlords by not charging rent for April. It’s decent and I wish my apartment complex would do the same.

My goodness. If you don’t want your kids to go to drag queen story hour, don’t take them to the library at that time. You can easily clutch your pearls in the comfort of your own home. Don’t ruin fun for the rest of us.
