Even weirder when the experts got free college tuition because their parents were in a union!
but not at taxpayer expense, the funds are provided by the union for its members
To be eligible, your union must participate and students must simply apply for federal aid and apply grants or tuition reimbursement to their college bill. The Free College benefit will cover the rest- even if you aren’t eligible for any other aid!
THE UNION PLUS FREE COLLEGE BENEFIT COVERS ANY AMOUNT FOR TUITION, FEES, OR BOOKS THAT IS NOT COVERED BY FEDERAL OR EMPLOYER EDUCATION GRANTS. FREE MEANS NO OUT-OF-POCKET COST TO YOU.
The ones mocking colleges like NJCU complain about people who come into the country “to steal jobs” from people who would never do those jobs. God forbid if people come into this country or those born here who don’t speak English take up ESL classes on their way to earning their degrees in an “underneath Division 3” college that’s more affordable and/or convenient for them.
He has an ideology to espouse, facts, history, self-consistency be damned.
Of course, that makes me wonder how YOU feel about billionaire CEOs with their massive bonus packages, given your particular ideological leanings. Because it's not like one side has a patent on hypocrisy over this sort of thing, right? 😉
I'm good with everybody earning as much as they possibly can legally leverage the system to earn. CEOs or taxpayer funded ditch diggers, don't matter to me. Let's make everybody wealthy, is my solution. 😀
Why? ESL seems like a pretty practically useful subject. Lots of first Gen college students in NJ place into ESL sections of writing. Even at Rutgers.
It's not a degree program you moron. It's a developmental sequence for international and first gen immigrants students who aren't ready for the traditional first year writing.
University status allowed them to expand their degree offerings and implement/expand their advanced degrees. Both of which are not typical of colleges. The wins are more diversity of degrees and advanced learning opportunities.
LOL and oh boy all in one. 🙄
To be fair, if this board is any indication, the people taking ESL speak better English than the whiners here opposing the program.
Possibly. But they all write better English than the coder who wrote spell check.
The spell-check/suggestion/auto-replacement feature of this forum is, indeed, totally messed up. It's very, very stubborn about being wrong, once it decides you really meant to write something else other than the perfectly spelled word you just typed.
Otherwise, though, the software seems to work very well here, so I can live w/the spellcheck oddities.
'Shoe dropped': State investigating NJ public university's finances
Murphy ordered an investigation into NJCU's finances after the school announced deficits, lost its president and adopted a 90-day emergency budget

So where was he for the last 5 years?
Now begging for a state bailout. Let it go under! No need for the college:

Financially stressed NJCU needs state money now to avoid running out of cash, CFO says
"If we don’t get our appropriation early, we can run out of cash before we develop a rightsizing plan.”

Eff that. We can bail out Revel Casinon and American Dream we can bail out NJCU, a place which actually does some good.
Close it down. Plenty of other options for higher ed. Don't make future mistakes because dumb people made past mistakes.
Options are limited for the commuting students, who could get hurt. Streamline, downsize and keep it open. Maybe they could bring Mitch Daniels in as a consultant. As president of Purdue for the last 8 years he has not raised tuition by a dime. Of course there are also no climbing walls less than 8 years old.
Hope you say the same thing when Corporations, Banks, CEOs, billionaires, politicians, banks, etc getting bailed out and loans wiped out the last few decades.Now begging for a state bailout. Let it go under! No need for the college:

People in JC can’t get out to Montclair, Kean, William Paterson, and other state colleges for various reasons. So you just want to close NJCU down because it’s in JC?
Some version of NJCU needs to be in JC to serve the local students. Get rid of the existing Admin and recreate it with a lower cost economic model.
Merge with Hudson County College into a single entity. First two years at one campus, earn AA, finish Bachelors at the other with no or seamless admission process.
JC folks are entitled to a local college they can walk to?
Good idea. Merge the two and fire all the NJCU admins.
Buy a car. Get a job. Take the train to NB. Why are JC folks special? No one in Rahway can walk to college.
Rahway? Jersey City is a major city. It has ten times the population of Rahway. It should absolutely have a public college. Hudson CC is good but only grants associate degrees. St. Peters is a tiny expensive private catholic university. There's a role for NJCU if they can get straightened out.
Once you compared it to those two corrupt projects you inadvertently convinced me - Let it die.
like Bloomfield College has become. BC is actually more like an extension of nursery school
Some very elitist views in this thread. Not surprised at who’s making those views known.
