Suzannah,
Can you help by blogging the following event my BF experienced when he went to the financial aide office at NYC College of Technology (CUNY) because we know he is not alone and would like to find out how many other students are affected. A close friend of mine whose BF.... currently receives TAP and Pell as a student and found out that he exhausted his limit leaving him with a balance of $880 for the Spring semester that he can not afford to pay. Note: the Federal govt and the State cut these funds and to make matters worse CUNY raised their tuition very recently. As an end result, students are going to have to drop out of school because they can not afford their tuition. What a messed-up situation.
What is Bloomberg offering to do to help CUNY students......many young people went back to school because of the recession and now they are getting #%&*#ed-up again by the Govt. This is crazy.
Thanks. I really appreciate your help on this because we need to make your readers aware of this new problem.
