I am a public university student in Milwaukee and feel that Walker's fiscal conservatism hurts students.
For the sake of our fiscal responsibility, our students, and our economy, their reckless joyride must end.
Cheyney's fiscal problems - students who are unable to repay debt and increasing pension costs - were exacerbated by cutbacks in state higher education funding.
Although he had to deal with the constraints of New York City's fiscal crisis and occasional student protests in the 1970s, Dr. Lief oversaw a transformation of the 37-acre campus.
She often discards subtlety in public discourse and thus spoke of the "fiscal starvation" faced by poor students and how the board's plans would destabilize, even destroy, poor neighborhoods.
Dr. Hite said in an interview that at University City, with low academic performance and only 20 percent of its seats filled, "it's just not a sound fiscal decision to have those students remain in that program".
The union in February rejected a four-year deal, saying the offer did not address school conditions, a lack of services for some students or the fiscal crisis facing the nation's third-largest district.
School officials were evaluated every six months in 370 areas, including student achievement and fiscal management.
FINDING a new school superintendent is usually an arduous process at best, but in Roosevelt, a troubled school district taken over by the state in 2002 after more than a decade of substandard student performance and fiscal instability, the challenge is even greater.
These changes are sure to be welcomed by a higher education community that has an insatiable appetite for no-strings attached wealth transfers, and will work counter towards holding these institutions accountable for student outcomes and fiscal prudence.
When costs go up and fiscal support shrinks, someone (the student) has to foot the bill.
