Comments

I asked you to comment but the comments feature apparently isn't working.

Blogger is working on this (and thanks to Professor Richard Kline who pointed this out!).

How's the semester so far?

Whether you are joining us for an on-line class, or seeing us face-to-face, I hope your semester got off to a good start.

You might be interested in seeing what President Obama's plans for education are - the stimulus plan provides more money for Pell Grants.

Here's a quote from The New York Times article that I've linked to above:

"In higher education, the bill would increase spending on Pell Grants, the most important federal student aid program, to $27 billion from about $19 billion this year.

“It’s a very good idea to increase Pell Grants in the stimulus,” said Terry Hartle, a senior vice president for public affairs at the American Council on Education, which represents colleges and universities."

You might also want to look at the White House's Education Agenda.

Best of luck as the semester begins-I love beginnings, and I hope you do too.
