Unease at Wayne State University - Are policies freezing out minorities?

[Zacha341]

Yep, NG and AD you've made excellent, compelling points, some speaking to the self-freezing out scene on campus! The attitude I've noted in the community college setting with some students is fun and games [[continuing from HS where basic study skills where not acquired) and money hustles in a percentage of students.

Teaching courses at a suburban community college I've noted some students simply not interested in even coming to class or a few that drop after two weeks or so after they get their loan moneys over and above their tuition costs [[reimbursement checks).

Some perceive this as free money and quit. I remind students day one that loans must be paid back and they if they unofficially drop [[disappear) they will fail the course. I remind them that their 'financial aid allotments' are finite and to seize the time to work hard while they have financial assistance.
