As colleges obsess over rankings, students shrug
When US News & World Report debuted its list of "America's Best Colleges" nearly 30 years ago, the magazine hoped its college rankings would be a game-changer for students and families. But arguably, they've had a much bigger effect on colleges themselves.

No more higher ed cuts, lawmakers say
Legislators visiting the Tri-Cities on Thursday vowed to dig in their heels and fight against any further cuts to higher education in a coming special session.
But the reality is that cuts are likely and could run deep.
"As you know, we have very serious funding problems," said Rep. Larry Seaquist, D-Gig Harbor, chairman of the House Higher Education Committee. "We are looking at very serious budget cuts -- in higher ed maybe cutting one-third of the budget."
Richland school levy: Yes
Richland school levy: Yes
Whether you are a parent, grandparent or friend of children, I encourage you to vote for your school levy. Nearly 20 percent of the programs in Richland Schools require local funding because our state Legislature has chosen not to fund basic education as directed by the state Constitution. The only mechanism we have today to fund these programs is to vote for the school levies.
Richland Schools has already cut five administrators. Sports programs have had cuts; recently, districts met to change playing schedules to reduce travel costs. Programs like drama, music, buses, travel, advanced placement classes, building maintenance, technology, staff training and development, art, physical education, security, etc., are not funded by the state, leaving coverage to local dollars. While the state still covers the so-called three R's, these other programs are important for a well-rounded education to prepare students for life after high school, whether it is going to work or on to college.
