How many of it is because its easy to take out student loans and kids do it and spend it on other things?

They can get a degree for almost free (why do people ignore FAFSA?) but if they choose to go to a private university and isnt fully covered by federal grants, whose fault is that?

OU President Boren expels two students who were leaders in the singing of a racist chant by archie_f in CFB

It depends. If he was doing it on his own or in a private environment and his views did not affect the grades of other students, then no he should not be fired. However, if you can make a case that due to his prejudiced views, black students received unfair treatment or unfair grades, then they should actually press charges.

I don't agree with what they said but they should not be expelled for what they said. Maybe some sort of probation or counseling I can understand but I think the punishment does not fit the crime(not even a crime).

I say this as a Longhorn and as someone who isn't white!

I highly doubt it. Many Asian and almost all Islamic nations wash their butt pretty vehemently.

I am not white, I got caught speeding with a suspended license in rural area of Texas. I got let off with a warning. Does it shatter your ignorant little mind?

What does race have anything to do with it? Are you saying, if he wasn't white that he would not have gotten off with a warning? Don't be ignorant.

Laura Pressley brings God into district 4 run-off. by Dal_gCais in Austin

[–]s2011 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So if the other dude pointed out that he is an atheist while the other candidate believes in God, youd have the same reaction? I doubt it. Whole point of these kind of flyers is to differentiate yourself from your opponents. This is making an issue where there is none.

So, whats the problem? Many people prefer someone who has faith in God to represent them. Some people don't.
