Screw U: The Next Bubble May Be Higher Education
Don, As a professor I see several issues that have not been addressed adequately in the comments: 1. There are schools in San Diego with ZERO default rates on student loans, because they cater to the international students, and if you follow the money trail you will realize that: You have to be "well off" to get a student visa, and you can't depend on your government to pay your tuition. Why does this matter? if the barrier to entry is low, then you get privileged college students, which isn't so bad, as a professor, a college, or for San Diego- They pump millions into the local economy, to the tune of at least 3 grand a month, per student and don't behave like college students at a state university, and are generally speaking easier to teach, aside from the language barriers, confines of the culture, and writing skills in English. Students can't work on a student visa, so they generally have more time to study, or welcome the chance to practice English.— August 7, 2012 9:01 p.m.
Strong-Arming Tactics Not New For U-T San Diego CEO John Lynch
They will do what they want, when they want to, that's why they bought a newspaper- to become the mini Murdochs of San Diego but the real issue is this- what's the benefit they get from creating an auto museum, a tax break? There's a reason, and who owns the cars? Is it for the convenience of the public, or a facade?— August 7, 2012 8:28 p.m.
Could Imperial Valley Become Owens Valley?
You can't get anything done from Yuma to Imperial Vally unless you are "from there" on a macro or micro level. Period. Not possible, Actually, let's just toss San Luis Rio Del Colorado, and the border towns from from Calexico to San Luis into the pot. No one woud dare comment on articles about the "other side", where the earthquake broke apart the irrigation channels for fear of reprisal. Billions poured into Haiti, and not a drop- literally nothing into the desert, and deserted victims just South of Yuma and Imperial Valley. Mike Hosley— July 22, 2012 3:08 a.m.
