Recien llegó a mi hijo una invitación de esta universidad, y quize investigar cual es la misión y conocer las oportunidades que tienen los jóvenes en está universidad , y me encanto cuando mencionaron la diversidad , que es muy importante porque de esta manera se comparten ideas y experiencias de diferentes puntos de vista dependiendo de los estados de donde vengan y la formación que tengan académica, social ,espiritual y familiar. Esto les permitirá proyectarse y conocer las necesidades del mundo y colaborar en las decisiones para formar parte de las soluciones del mundo, y que el idioma, la situación económica y la situacion legal no sea una barrera para alcanzar los sueños de los jóvenes, sólo es tener claro quien eres y a dónde quieres llegar, pero que el objetivo principal sea, formar parte del cambio que necesita el mundo. Gracias por compartir este tipo de videos, esperemos que nuestro hijo, y muchos estudiantes tengan la oportunidad que explotar su potencial en este tipo de universidad como Carleton . Gracias por compartir este tipo de videos.

pause at 3:25 for an idea of what the student body looks like

Wow! What a wonderful experience at Amherst! I hope I am able to embark on my own journey here!

Idk why this video popped up on my feed. But let me just point out this fact for y'all wealthy folks. In 2019, Carelton University had around 2000 students, with a budget of $190.4 Million. While at Mankato State, with a student population of around 17K, the annual budget in 2019 was 264 Million. From a policy perspective, I dont get how anyone can defend supporting private universities through either sending their kids there or via a donation. The 190 Million Carelton received in 2019 could have educated another 10 plus thousands of students in the MNSU state system or reduced tuition amounts greatly for the numerous of people who can't afford already inflated state school tuition amounts. Instead, these resources are diverted into benefiting primarily kids from uber wealthy famlies by their parents and other elitist cohorts. Because the world has such limited resources, wasting such a large amount of financial assests on the propagation of people who come from wealthy families and suburban towns like Chaska is surely a sign of our society's moral bancrupty. We need to keep private colleges in check. And, make sure they are not places where only rich wealthy people can congregate. The way to do this is obviously through statute. Requiring private colleges to have socio-economic class based quotas that are pegged to the MN population by income brackets would ensure deserved "closed business" signs on private school administration doors. These insane budgets for such low student populations need to be no longer be a thing. Hypothetically, under this proposed statute, Carelton could only have 1% of its student population come from families at the top 1% of all income earners. And, surely they would be unable to operate with a primarily working-class student population that lacks an ability to pay price gouged admission rates. The majority of people in Minnesota come from lower-income brackets, which Carelton does not recruit from or provide educational access to. The closure and end to private education is needed step for equality. Allowing 190 million to be spent on the education of rich wealthy kids is wrong, elitist neo-liberalism, and political cowardliness.

Adding your proposed statue wouldn’t change anything at the end of the day. It would probably close Carleton and other private schools in MN but that would mean the rich would go to other private colleges. Even if this was implemented at a Federal level, tuition in public schools are still astronomically high for the middle class and poor. What we need to do is fund our public universities more, not close all private schools.

[@mattsieglovesdietrootbeer]

@@markusgunadi7839 I disagree. Private universities/buisnesses need to go. They are the epitome of social and class hierarchy. Individual states can take the lead on preventing class hierarchy that is established via getting paper degrees from private schools. Private colleges lead to real social mobility probelms, when employers arrogantly and biasly give private school graduate jobs they don't deserve, just because their parents paid for their expensive tuition. If we don't do a two pronged approach, whereby the state increases income taxes to pay for higher ed (plus the construction of a few more public universities), and simultaneously shutters private schools--wealthy people will always get the better jobs in a competitive job market. So, long as private schools exist, there will always be a bureaucratic capitalist class that seeks to expolit the labor of workers and privilege themselves to best opportunities workers have toiled for them to live off. Along with a quota statue that could force private schools out of buisness, this state needs an anti-discrimination employement law that requires employers to give preferential treatment to pools of applicants that went to public unversities and public high schools. Rich people always impose their will on workers, e.g. increasing cigarette taxes to curb use. So, I argue--I think they deserve a taste of their own medicine and should get their problematic behaviors curbed as well.

I feel as though people misunderstand private colleges. Yes they appeal to rich kids cause rich kids know about them BUT most of these schools give way better financial benefits than public schools. Right now I’m trying to fund my education and to go to my state school, they will give me 8k and so I’ll have to cover 28k on my own. I can’t do that, it’s way too much. Carleton cost ~78k ON PAPER but I only have to pay 18k after grant aid. That’s still a ton, but I can work and pay it off. Most of these private schools end up being cheaper than a lot of these states schools because of this kind of thing. Private schools make an affordable education possible for someone like me and in a lot of cases, they will fully cover everything in a way that a state school never would.
