Universities have grown way beyond what they need to for the domestic student population. This is growth squarely aimed at international students who pay 5-10x what domestic students pay in tuition. Cut off the tap of international students and you end up with huge unused capacity and budget shortfalls.
That is gorgeous! Love it
They’re hurting because they got addicted to international student funding and grew to ridiculous size, then that funding dried up and they don’t want to shrink back down to normal size.
It’s like a person being fed all-you-can-eat fried chicken and milkshakes, gaining 300 lbs, then being put on a healthy diet and complaining they’re hungry all the time.
Yeah. There’s no way you’re going to get older, wealthier Canadian taxpayers to make up the shortfall by cutting back on international students.
We’re having a hard enough time as it is getting elementary school teachers paid. Universities cost FAR MORE per student than elementary schools. Tuition costs have skyrocketed way faster than inflation.
Making taxpayers pay all tuition costs is the surest way to get universities defunded completely.
Yep! And people have different sized feet, so measuring distance in feet is silly and arbitrary!
What about Bayonne, New Jersey?
This is for being admitted to the hospital though, not counselling. Inpatient psychiatric care is pretty serious stuff.
This is why I stopped buying games. I still have a massive backlog (like everyone else) but it’s a list, not a Steam library.
Don’t get sucked in by Steam sales. You’re not saving money by buying games you’re never going to play!
Religions don’t just pop up out of a vacuum. They reflect and reinforce the predominant cultural practices of the time.
I used to collect way more candy than that when I was a kid going out on Halloween! It did not last 6 years. Maybe 1 month at most!
And if you’re wondering: no, I was not fat as a kid. I was very skinny. I spent tons of time outside, riding my bike and playing with friends. I didn’t really start to become an indoor video game nerd until early high school. Coincidentally, I also stopped going out for Halloween and I started gaining weight!
This one is it for me. The game really does so much with so little. The reality of the game is that it is a roughly linear sequence of closed levels (with some hub levels thrown in) that feels like a cohesive, connected world. It’s absolutely incredible!
We have lots of wind turbines in the country near here. Sometimes it actually gets too windy for them (risking damage by pushing them above design speed limit)!
High quality pasture isn’t just grass. It’s a mixture of grasses and legumes such as clover and alfalfa. The pasture should be slow to bolt and mature at different times throughout the season, providing the cattle with a good forage regardless of the temperatures.
I’m aware of plants getting sunburn. I’ve seen it first hand as a gardener bringing seeds started indoors outside.
Oh nice! I’ll check that out too! Thanks!
Oh yeah, I’m an avid gardener. I grow stuff in the shade on purpose. It’s usually in the shade of a tree though. I would imagine a giant array of solar panels that always rotate to face the sun would cast much deeper, more solid shadows than trees do.
That’s pretty amazing. I’ve never played the game but it looks pretty chill.
Sometimes I really get in the mood for chill games like Stardew Valley or NetHack! Maybe I’ll check out ETS2 sometime!
Oh yeah that makes perfect sense. I’m thinking from my area’s perspective which is the opposite: barely any sunlight at all and tons of rain/snow.
How are you supposed to grow high quality, high protein pasture in the shade? This seems like it would greatly increase the amount of land you need for a given herd size.
Tuition fees have been capped, not tuition costs. Tuition costs go up when universities build more buildings, hire more staff, pay for more electricity and heating. If they’re doing all that stuff to cater to extremely lucrative international students who then get cut off, the school ends up with budget shortfalls.
This is all excess capacity (and luxury) that domestic students don’t need and didn’t ask for. It’s all designed to compete for international students on the global market.
