June 29, 2009 Scholarship Providers Fall Victim to Down Economy The New York Times reports that the recession has led foundations, corporations, state governments and colleges themselves to reduce their support of providers of scholarships, and in recent months programs have been reduced or canceled outright. The cuts come as economic conditions make it harder for families to pay for college and as more unemployed people look for financing for retraining. One big issue not addressed in this article is that our elected officials are considering legislation (the DREAM Act) that will give illegal alien students in-state tuition benefits and a path to amnesty. Is this the right time to even consider such legislation?
Pres. Obama "Willing" to Put Political Muscle Into Passing Amnesty Bill The President also announced that Homeland Security Secretary Napolitano would convene a group of leaders from the White House and Congress to craft this new legislation. However, key details were left unclear, such as when legislation would be marked up, whether the House or Senate would act first and whether a sweeping overhaul of immigration laws could be added to the crowded congressional calendar, according to lawmakers and aides. Read about it in Congress Daily (Note: may require subscription).
