...Should a university education be tuition free? Education is very important for everyone to get knowledge, social life, or good job. Many students want to go to university but not everyone can go there because of the problem of their financial support to go to university. From that cause, even though they want to go to university but should government support their university education for free? While some ordinary people and some students think that it should have a lot of advantages for them if a university education has tuition free, students should pay for their university education because they will get quality education, they will have responsibility to study and they will help their government save money to make education better, or to do something else. Universities have to consider students’ qualifies when they accept students to their university. On the other hand, students need universities that have quality too. Money support for university education from the government may not enough for hiring good teacher, tuition fee, materials, or text books. This cause impact to university and lend to low quality. The question is why students have to go to free university and do not get anything that they should get from the university? Maybe it is better to stay at home, or work if they didn’t get any knowledge from school. Many students have motivated to go to university whereas many students have not. But if the tuition is free, maybe the university will have a large number...

...Rising Costs of College College tuition is a hot topic these days. For a long time, people did not pay much attention to tuition. Today, things are changing. More and more people are realizing how high tuition has reached and now they want that to change. In this essay, I have tried to approach a very difficult topic. The problem with this topic was that while searching for facts and information I found that almost all of the information regarding it was attack after attack on the college administrations. I found no writings by college administrators attempting to defend themselves. When I started the research for my first paper this semester, I thought I would just be cruising through another English course, effortlessly composing the required essays, and looking over other peoples' thoughts on topics I could not care less about. That all changed when I discovered the truth about how much college tuition has gotten out of control over the years. Students have every right to be angry about the state of college tuition. In the past 20 years, "tuition increased twice as fast as the overall cost of living (Larson, 63)." Between 1980 and 1990, the average cost of attending public and private colleges increased by 109% and 146%, respectively “ (Hood, 10). To put these figures into perspective, we can compare them with other rising costs during the same 10-year period. Those who can afford these outrageous prices can usually also ignore it. As for the rest of us, when every...

...of commodities is considered bad and taken so seriously, why is that they haven't paid much attention towards the rising inflation in tuition fees? Like inflation affects the willingness and purchasing power of people, tuition inflation is affecting the cost of attending college. Extremely high tuition fees are acting as obstacles for entering a college or a professional course and turning it into a distant dream for many people. Even if some of them are fighting against the odds and arranging financial assistance for their education, it does not change the fact that education has become too expensive. It is making situation more tedious for parents saving for their child’s education as they are unsure how much should they save now that will be able to meet the inflation of tuition fees when their child graduates from High School. Researches show that since 1986, cost of tuition fees or tuition inflation has risen a massive 498.31%. In 1986 the cost of tuition fees was $10,000, now a days due to inflation it has increased to an approximate $60,000. This is not just inflation; it is ‘disproportional’ inflation. In a situation, when inflation in a particular sector of economy exceeds general inflation, where form 1986 to 2010 general inflation has only risen 115.06%. Statistical data reveal that considering any 17 year period from 1980, tuition inflation has been in the range of 6% to 9%, which means that on an average, it rises 8% every year. In simple terms, these calculations...

...The Benefits of Offering Tuition Reimbursement to Employees Trina Heyrman XCOM/285 November 16, 2013 Professor Elisa Rowell When it comes to the many benefits a company could provide for their employees, there are three important ones in the minds of those employees. These are insurance, vacation time, and flexibility. Most employees do not realize that there is another, more potentially life changing benefit that could be offered. This option is of course, tuition reimbursement. Companies that offer tuition reimbursement find themselves with unique opportunities, ones they might otherwise never have had a chance to take advantage of. Companies that offer tuition reimbursement can do things like require employees who take advantage of the opportunity to stay with the company for a certain amount of time, thus giving the company a potentially loyal and likely permanent employee on staff, who has been trained properly for the duties his or her job will entail. A company can also require employees to maintain a high GPA, to ensure only the best work comes from our employees. In order to keep the usage of this benefit restricted to people whose degrees will help the company, the reimbursement can be set for only employees pursuing a business and communications degree. When a company offers its employees tuition reimbursement, it makes the employee more likely to be loyal to the company, which in turn can have an effect on the chances industrial espionage will take place...

...To raise more revenue, Nobody State University increases its tuition so, this would not increase the revenue but it would decrease the revenue. If one increase then the other would definitely decrease. No it would definitely not result into more revenue to have more revenue Nobody State University would have to decline some enrollments in order to increase the revenue. Most likely Nobody States University will not decline enrollment so the cost of tuition would definitely be increased. Under what conditions will revenue (a) rise, (b) fall, or (c) remain the same? Revenue would not fall or remain the same it would increase more likely due to the economic industry. Tuition have risen in the past and it has not stated the same or lowered while economic crisis continues to rise tuition cost would also increase. Explain this process, focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling at NSU despite the higher tuition and the lost revenue from possible lower enrollment. The tuition fees raises but, it is due to the economic of health care, other industry with a huge cost problem. Both college education and health care have raised sharply in most developed countries not only the United States.

The student has been rising steady for decades because once subsides get cut...

...Tuition Hikes in Higher Education The cost of higher education has been rapidly growing, especially over the past couple of years, there has been a sharp increase. “College tuition and fees today are 559 percent of their cost in 1985” (Rampell). In 2005, the average tuition cost at a public four-year college was approximately $5,000. Today, the average tuition at four-year state schools nationwide rose “faster than inflation…..4.8% increase” (Gordon). This brought tuition at public four-year schools to $8,655. This is happening because of many factors including schools raising tuition to pay for more remedial classes and extra counseling services, to make up for cuts in state funds, and to make up for reductions in the per-student subsidy state taxpayers sent colleges. These in turn have several effects that have an impact on society as a whole, these effects include international students going to schools in other countries because school here is too expensive, young college graduates not being able to afford to buy a home or have children due to their massive debt, parents not being well prepared for retirement since lots of graduates are moving back with their parents and parents are taking money out of their 401K to pay their children’s college loans, but most importantly low income students not being able to go to college because they cannot afford it. The rising cost of college tuition does not just affect the individual; it affects society as a whole since society is...

...plunge into a sort of near madness. Given the hypothesis that, there always were weak children and brilliant children the system of giving and taking tuitions has taken up to new dimensions to an all time high. There was a time when those children who were weak were the only ones who took extra tuitions so that they could compete with their more brilliant colleagues. This was also not a thing to be proud of that, the child is taking tuition because it would clearly imply that the child was weak in studies. The parents and also their wards felt a little ashamed that they had to resort to extra tuition. This indicated that the student required an extra dose of teaching to cope with the syllabus. Moreover, the teachers of the days gone by, took the trouble of finishing the syllabus in class so that all could benefit. Then, only the weak who required personal attention would take to tuitions. This was the picture as it existed a few decades back. However, this same tuition has now become almost a necessity, for which several reasons can be assigned. Today, this entire scenario has taken a ‘U’ turn, and all parties involved in the system of tuitions have evolved an absolutely new psyche towards tuitions. This system has become almost madness, a disease. These days every child good, bad or very weak all resort to tuitions, in...

...shown in previous research a relationship between tuition fee and student enrollment exists, this study focusses on this relationship moderated by government aid and career expectations. By manipulating these variables in a questionnaire with vignettes all other variables able to influence this relationship are controlled as much as possible. Results suggest that a variation in both government aid and career expectation influence students’ decision to enroll both for their first study as for a further study after graduation. The effect of career expectations seems to be the most crucial on a student’s enrollment choice. How career expectations, tuition fees and government aid impact student enrollment Education in all its forms is one of the fundamental elements of societies. By educating people a society can function and develop. This is especially the case in western countries in which knowledge, which can be acquired through education is of crucial importance. The need for high educated persons is of great importance for western countries such as member states of the European Union. The importance of higher education is reflected in strategies launched by the European Union (Rodriguez, al, 2010; European Commission, 2010), aiming towards a knowledge economy and becoming more competitive in future years. This vision is also being shared outside the European Union (Yang, 2011). The tuition fees in the Netherlands are rising and government...

...540 Chapter 4 Case Analyzing Managerial Decisions: Setting Tuition and Financial Aid In 2000, Ursinus College raised its tuition 17.6 and fees percent to $23,460. After the fee increase, the college recognized an increase in applications by 200 compared to the previous year. There was an assumption by the college president that the applicants concluded the college must be better since its cost was more than others were. In addition, colleges such as the University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr College, Rice University, and the University of Richmond raised their tuition in order to match rival colleges, thus causing an increase in applications also. On the other hand, North Carolina Wesleyan College lowered their tuition and fees ten years ago by 22 percent; however, the decrease in costs only attracted a small number of candidates, thus determining the reduction in tuition and fees was not attractive to the students. Susan Hansen, Admissions Director, at a liberal arts college in the East gave a recommendation to increase tuition and reduce financial aid to students in order to increase enrollment. Susan projects the increase in tuition and the decrease in financial aid will solve the school’s financial problems. Last year, the college enrolled 400 new students who each paid an effective tuition of $15,000 (after financial aid) totaling $6,000,000. Susan projects the increased demand from charging an effective tuition of $25,000; the college will enroll 600 new students, totaling...

...important to use our profits to reinvest into our employees. Until now our employee benefits have consisted of medical, dental and life insurance. We would like to add tuition reimbursement to make a more rounded benefits package. An excellent benefit is to add tuition reimbursement for the bachelor’s degrees in business and communication. The benefits of adding tuition reimbursement are endless within our company. This tuition reimbursement program is beneficial to both RJ Welch and its employees. This would offer new opportunities to our employees such as better careers, a higher earning potential and higher company moral. The company would benefit from this addition by being a more attractive company to work for and will increase employee retention. Tuition reimbursement would better employee careers by offering an education that they otherwise may not be able to obtain financially on their own without school loans. The cost of a degree at the end of 2011 will cost approximately $13,000 to $62,000 per student based on research done at (http://www.geteducated.com/online-college-ratings-and-rankings/best-buy-lists/best-buy-online-bachelor-business-managementand). With the cost of this schooling I don’t believe loans of this size are not profitable for enough for employee’s to obtain on their own. With this type of tuition assistance our employees will have enough reason to achieve this type of education. This added benefit will also offer higher earning potential to our employees...

...10/16/2011 Heather Parker What is Tuition Reimbursement? Simply put, Tuition Reimbursement is a program many companies offer to their employees in which the company reimburses some or all of the tuition fees their employees spend on education. Tuition Reimbursement is a classic win-win scenario. The company gets a better trained, more educated, and often more loyal employee, while the employee receives a subsidized education that may achieve a personal goal and without doubt makes them more marketable in the workforce. Some programs offer reimbursement for books, other expenses, and even a bonus once the employee receives his or her degree. Should we offer tuition reimbursement to our employees? The answer is simple. Yes, we should offer tuition reimbursement to our employees. Starting a tuition reimbursement program is a good idea for both the employee and employer. By helping our employees better themselves we are also helping our company by having more educated employees. We are also creating a more loyal employee. They are less likely to leave the company when they are in a tuition reimbursement program and are more loyal to the company afterwards. We also could attract the best available prospective employees with such a benefit. There is a lot of competition out there vying for the best young employees and we certainly would like to remain competitive in our recruitment efforts. Some examples of companies that offer tuition reimbursement are as follows: ...
