CSU Bosses Demand Another Fee Hike\u2013Students Betrayed by Rep: \u201cThe proposal would hike fees by 5% for undergraduate students and those in graduate business programs and 10% for doctoral education students. For full-time undergraduates, that translates to a $204 increase, bringing the total university fee to $4,230 for the 2010-2011 academic year. With campus fees included, the cost for an undergraduate to attend CSU would rise to $5,097. The plan also would eliminate the cap on nonresident tuition, with out-of-state students paying $16,257 for 30 semester units rather than the current $11,160\u2026The CSU Board of Trustees will take up the proposal at a special meeting June 18. Last fall, undergraduate fees rose 32% after the board passed two separate hikes\u2026\u2026Though students would prefer no fee hikes, a 5% raise is the best-case scenario, said Steve Dixon, president of the Cal State Student Assn.\u201d<\/p>\n

Detroit Mayor Moves to Take Over Schools<\/a>: \u201cDetroit Mayor Dave Bing is ready to take over city schools when Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb\u2019s contract expires in March.
\nBut the mayor is not going to make any such move without voter approval. A group of community activists and parents are preparing petitions to get the matter on the November ballot.<\/p>\n

So Long Neighborhood School\u2013Detroit Closes 32<\/a>: \u201cDPS, still the largest district in the state, has been hard-hit by continuous enrollment declines throughout the decade. District officials predict enrollment will drop from about 87,000 this year to 79,000 next year and continue to drop to below 57,000 by fall 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

Denby High\u2019s Mini-Thug Principal<\/a>: \u201cFirst-time principal Kenyetta Wilbourn, who is 4 foot 11, patrols the halls with a bat called \u201cthe Equalizer.\u201d Her tactic came to light April 19 in a Detroit Free Press report. As a result, Denby High School students may venture out into the world with the perception that as a child it is not appropriate to use violence, but as an adult it is appropriate to utilize a bat to terrorize other individuals. Wilbourn\u2019s behavior is inappropriate because it violates the school code of conduct, promotes violence, is a form of child abuse and, most of all, is illegal.\u201d <\/p>\n

George Washington (yes) vs Bob Bobb<\/a>: \u201cEmergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb said in court today he believed he had the power to forgo feedback to the school board on their academic plan and instead write his own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supremes Love NCLB<\/a>: \u201cThe Supreme Court has turned away a challenge by school districts \u2014 led by the Pontiac Public School District \u2014 and teacher unions to the federal No Child Left Behind law. The court said without comment Monday that it will not step into a lawsuit that questioned whether public schools have to comply with requirements of the law if the federal government doesn\u2019t pay for them. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit and a federal appeals court split 8-8, leaving the judge\u2019s ruling in place.\u201d From The Detroit News: <\/p>\n

How the Young of the Other Half Go to College<\/a>: \u201cWhen Allison Frisch goes shopping this summer for furnishings to decorate her freshman dorm room at Stephens College, she will be looking for a comforter for herself \u2014 and a matching doggie bed for her roommate.\u201d<\/p>\n

RaTT Attacked from the Right<\/a> (Fish-ing\u2013Pluralism is Crap): (Students should be brought \u201cto see themselves as members of a heterogeneous nation . . . and a still more heterogeneous world, and to understand something of this history of the diverse groups that inhabit it.\u201d<\/p>\n
