NICE
Man who voted for politicians who cut funding for public education is surprised when public education has to charge students more money.
So you went to a university and in one visit got to speak personally with several staff and administrators. You complained that the facilities were too nice and the staff and administrators shoes were too nice. Then you complained that the only person who could tell you exactly how much your specific situation would cost is the person whose job is to know it and the people for whom that isn't their job didn't.
I don't see the problem other than education is expensive.
Why do well-to-do people like to complain about other people having nice shoes? I'm not a shoe person so that's just weird to me.
“I can’t believe how much it costs to educate my Au Pair” is a pretty hilarious Wake Forest message board complaint.
Ph, fucks sake man. I worked college admissions. It's absolutely the responsibility of a college admissions person to know something about the cost of education and the financial services/aid that the school offers.
I'm painting the picture of an over-staffed, under-qualified bloated corpse that over-charges students. Am I some rich guy yelling at clouds? Yes - for fucks sake, I'm on a Wake Forest message board. Doesn't invalidate my point.
The “No. 1 Public Business School in the Northeast” may have padded its job-placement numbers for recent graduates using “sham” temporary positions funded by the university’s endowment, according to a new whistleblower lawsuit filed in New Jersey state court. The complaint, which accuses Rutgers University of using those numbers to inflate its MBA rankings, was filed by the human resources manager at Rutgers Business School, Deidre White, who still works for the university. “Instead of telling the truth to prospective and current students, (Rutgers Business School) continues to make the claim that virtually all of its graduates are gainfully employed,” the lawsuit states. “As a result, students chose to attend Rutgers based on these false representations and manipulated MBA ranking statistics.”
According to the complaint, Rutgers created “sham” positions within the university for unemployed graduates but outsourced the jobs to a temp-agency to skirt reporting restrictions that bar colleges from counting internal hires in their employment data. “This was a blatant effort to give the impression of a higher overall full-time employability rating with third-parties and to deceptively bolster Defendant Rutgers’ ‘ranking’ with crucial media outlets, such as U.S. News & World Report,” White’s lawyer said in the lawsuit. White was hired in 2015 and worked for university human resources before she was transferred to the business school in Newark, New Jersey, where she became the HR manager, her lawyer said.
The job placement rate for full-time MBA students is listed as 100% within six months after graduation on the business school’s website. But according to White’s lawsuit, some of those jobs have been “token permanent positions directly with the university.” Rutgers hired the MBA students through a third-party temp-agency using more than $400,000 from the university endowment, her lawyer said. A chart from 2018 included in the lawsuit shows seven of the students who were hired were given short-term contracts lasting three to seven months at an hourly rate of $45.
Is this news? Law schools across the country have been doing this for years and years. I assumed business schools did it too.

Is this the thread where I annually come to complain about the fact that Wake Forest tuition costs around $60,000 a year and that a realistic 4-year cost for undergrad at Wake Forest is $400,000? Is this the place where I annually argue that's completely insane?
