California CollegesCalifornia College News
If you are concerned about paying for your child's college education, remember this: Your tax dollars at work.
A few years ago, Gov. Brown signed Part I of the Dream Act, which gave illegals the right to apply for and receive private funding for college educations from institutions in this state.
Later, Gov. Brown signed Part II of the Dream Act. This means that illegals can receive public funding for their college educations. This includes free money such as the Cal Grant program, which provides thousands per student, based on need, and the Pell Grant, the Federal version the free money for needy students. This is taxpayer supplied money.
Currently, the bill says that illegals cannot apply until after California citizens have been served. There is never any money left over, so soon we will see either a very quiet end to that provision, or a system of quotas required of the lenders in the distribution of taxpayer goodies like the Cal Grant and access to the other public funding sources.
For a few years now, we have generously provided free college tuition to illegals wishing to attend college here, as they do in seven other U.S. states.
If a citizen of another state comes here to school, they are required to pay a hefty tuition fee, nor can they apply for such generous programs as the Cal Grant. Illegals are given free college tuition.
Tuition at the University of California is `over $30,000 per year and rises each year.

Pets and College
A Moral Note Please. When you arrive at your apartment at the beginning of the school year, DON'T go to the animal shelter to adopt a pet (usually a kitten) unless you are planning to keep this pet for its lifetime. Students frequently provide indifferent care for the animal during the year, perhaps not even spaying or neutering.
Then if the animal has kittens, and you may find equally indifferent homes for them, or let them lose around your apartment to fend for themselves. They are left to roam and be killed, abused by others, or killed by animals or cars. In addition, they reproduce, over and over. More sad, homeless animals that will only live long enough to reproduce.
Please be responsible, if you choose to acquire a pet while at college. Many local shelters, by the way, have access to spay and neuter resources who will do it for little or no cost. And, at the end of the school year, you leave the animal to fend alone at your apartment complex.
Or perhaps, you shove the pregnant animal outside, thinking it can fend for itself. (It can't.)
As a Humane Society volunteer, I cannot tell you how awful this is, and how irresponsible and cruel this is.
BY THE WAY: If this behavior describes you: DON'T tell people you love animals, because you don't.
IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED, GIVE SOME THOUGHT TO THE ANIMAL, and its litters, that YOU WILL BE NEGLECTING/ABUSING/ABANDONING.
