Blog Post #2

The topic of NYT project that our group chose is Education. Although all of our group members forced on different sub-topic, but the reason we chose Education as our big topic is because that it is the most important thing to us right now since we are currently college students.

I found two articles on the New York Times. The first one is about the higher education tuition. Who should really pay for the public colleges? It used to be the fifty-fifty police: the states pay the half and the students pay another half. However, public college started crossing this line in the past five years because the local government could not afford it. They have to concern about other things like medicare and K-12 educations, so the public college fee is getting higher. The second arctile i found it about the college athletics.  The NCAA get all the money from “selling” the athletic students but the students don’t get much money. However, NCAA argues that players should get nothing more than a scholarship, which has a possibility that the colleges may cancel it, and that is unfair to the athletic students.

i think both article are related to our topic, Education. Getting know about these news can know how them could affect us. We come to the college to get professional information and we hope that things would work well for us. Our group wish people to concern about the education so we chose this topic.
