In one of these stories, it is stated that this program will affect around 1 million students. The same story claims that the program would cost about $168 million per year.
Now, my calculations come out to around $200 per student, per year...maybe enough to purchase a couple study books, but a year's tuition???
Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Perhaps better policies regarding incentives and rewards for success in teaching as measured by student achievement would help more than expanding on a mediocre program. New educational facilities and better education at the K thru 12 level would constitute improvement and increased demand would result. Expansion will result in new financial liabilities and lack of productivity incentives. Thus will strangle the public university system even further.
Maybe 10-15 years of fooling people and stealing our money, and NY State colleges become a joke.
Other than us not liking the public cost, I can't believe we don't hear more argument for purely academic merit based eligibility.
I agree with you completely that effort can often be the most important factor, too.
That's what I say.
I knew it.
I f'ing knew it.
If this were my board I'd ban you on the spot.
Instead you are one of the most prolific posters and commentators on this site.
This has got to stop.
This forum is a VERY VISIBLE FACE of OBJECTIVISM.
You, sir, do NOT belong here.
Offer each eligible student a school loan with strict rules. Maintain a passing grade average. At the end of 2 or 4 years when you graduate you must remain employed in NY for as long as you were in school, 2 or 4 years. The loan will then be erased or paid in full. Those who flunked out or quit will be on the hook for full repayment of the loan.
Liberals are the most charitable people I know as long as they are spending other peoples money!
Even more interesting....the less prepared you are [Lets face it if you are poor, probably no one in your family has been to college so you will get no worthwhile support of encouragement] the more money you get, and the more qualified you are the more obstacles are placed in your way. I cannot think of a better means of creating chaos in education.
Oh, that's save for what he libtard "contributes" by paying taxes.
Just ask Bill Clinton about how he spoke of We The People paying such "patriotic contributions" when he was president.
Me dino recalls Slick Willie inspiring some teenager to contribute $1,000 to the government.
Me also have a memory of seeing on TV Bill and Hillary smiling side by side when the kid's contribution was announced.
Is there any correlation between financial success and college education? Is there any correlation between financial success and measured intelligence? To what extent do genetic factors significantly affect measured intelligence ? Is there any correlation between financial success and whether students work to pay for their education?
