From the Paper
"A large number of countries have come to the conclusion that students should contribute their own share of the funds required to finance their education as this is the only fair and realistic thing to do. It is also said that the bill will reduce the weight on the general tax payer. It is often argued that students contributing to the costs of education will provide them with economic benefits in the longer run. The government also deduces that the new bill will reduce inequalities and disparities in income and reduce class variations within the economy, as it has been deduced in research terms that; graduates earn 50% more than the average person without a degree, hence it has been argued that the new bill will eventually create a certain level of 'justice' within the society."

Abstract
This paper reviews the history of tuition fees and then goes on to discusses the re-evaluation of tuition fees in Quebec State, Canada. According to the paper, there are three levels of tuition: Quebec resident (lowest level), out-of-province Canadian resident (tuition set to average Canadian tuition) and international tuition (highest level).
From the Paper
"In The Gazette, "Ontario gets it right on tuition fees" article reveals that "in Quebec, undergraduate tuition hasn't changed since 1994, and will not change before the next election", Jean Charest's government has pledged. The article shows an opposite position, as "the basic undergrad fee of $1,851 should have climbed past $2,300 merely to account for inflation, to say nothing of universities' capital costs, maintenance needs, enrollment increases, and so on". In Quebec, the government states not having new money for universities, which are suffering from years of underfunding. In Quebec alone, universities estimate the annual shortfall to be $350 million. As a result, Quebec and other provinces want both low tuition fees and more funding from Ottawa, so that students will not be driven away by raising tuition fees. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of high tuition fees required by Ontario universities. The paper discusses how university should be made available to all and not just those who are financially able to cope with the demands of high fees. The paper further discusses issues of race and gender in relation to issues surrounding higher education.
From the Paper
Many in public sector planning, at present, belong to a post-World War II generation that enjoyed fairly good access to higher education. It can be most difficult to explain that it is no longer possible to work part-time through the year, and at full-time minimum wage employment in the summer, and finance a Bachelor's degree in four years. Higher tuition in relation to small increases in wages, over the last decades, made higher education expensive, even for students with access to student loan support.

Lowering Tuition Costs, 2006.
An argument against the lowering of tuition fees in Saskatchewan, Canada.
1,761 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 13 sources, APA, £ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper considers the perspective of students who want a more affordable education and society who will have to pay for subsidies in the form of tax increases or spending cuts. The paper reveals that there is no evidence to suggest that the rising tuition costs through the 1990s and early 21st century turned a significant number of potential students away from post-secondary education. The paper then discusses how students are already benefiting when it comes to investing in post-secondary education, and lower tuition fees in Saskatchewan can only be achieved at the expense of those who cannot afford it. The paper includes several full-color graphs.
Outline:
Introduction
How Does the Price of Tuition Affect Participation in Post-Secondary Education?
How Much Should Society Have to Pay for Post-Secondary Education?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For decades student interest groups have argued the price of post-secondary education in Canada, and Saskatchewan in particular, is too high. Despite concessions from the provincial government last year, the URSU is once again gearing up for a fight, preparing to launch a new campaign aimed at decreasing the cost of tuition for University of Regina students.
"While campaigns to lower tuition costs are politically popular with the student body, especially those with voices in the Students' Union and The Carillon, these campaigns are, at best, misguided. Students are already getting a great deal when it comes to investing in post-secondary education, and lower tuition fees in Saskatchewan can only be achieved at the expense of those who cannot afford it."

Abstract
This paper looks at how, on May 18, 2003, Illinois became the fifth state in the country to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal residents. It examines the legal basis of this controversial law and looks at its possible economic, social, and political and economic effects on the state of Illinois. The first part of the paper is a history and overview of House Bill 60. The next part then details the law?s objectives and the number of students who stand to benefit in Illinois. It shows how, despite its objectives, this controversial law has generated spirited criticism, and it examines the various objections, which include debates regarding the legality of the law and the economic effects of this law on Illinois taxpayers.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Much of the opposition centers how these laws will limit opportunities for United States citizens and legal residents. For many low-income American families, state universities present the only option for higher education. Because many state universities are already limiting enrollment, groups like the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) contend that ?when public universities admit an illegal immigrant and provide subsidized tuition, some other student who is also deserving is denied an opportunity? (FAIR Issue Brief). These alien students, in effect, will gain an education at the expense of legal American residents or citizens."

Why Tuition Costs are Rising so Much
The Effect on the Middle Class
The Effect on the Nation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"In recent years, the cost of attending a higher education institution has increased at a rate much higher than inflation. Each year students and families are faced with a larger burden when determining how to pay for their essential education. In this day and age, a higher education has become essential to most professions. The young generation of today sees post high school training as a necessity. For individuals to work after high school without a degree or certificate of some sort has almost become not even an option. The current demand for high education is much higher than just a few decades ago. Higher education is no longer left for the elite doctors, scientists, businessmen, and lawyers. Everyone ranging from retail store managers to administrative assistants prefer or require a four-year degree at the least. There are a lot of effects to analyze when looking at the current state of higher education in our country. Many say our country is falling behind other countries when it comes to academics. Some could blame the cost of education. However, it would be unfair to make that assertion without analyzing the society and parents. Regardless of the reason our country is falling behind, we must look at the reasons for increasing high education costs and its affects on our nations families."

Minimum Wage Bill, 2007.
An analysis on bill H.R.5970, based on a USA Today article, "Senate Rejects GOP Estate Tax, Minimum Wage Bill."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the Senate recently voted down a bill that would have raised minimum wage but would have also lowered estate taxes. The paper examines how, by linking two oppositional tax-related issues, the bill, H.R.5970, polarized the Senate along party lines. The paper explores how an estate tax cut favors the wealthiest Americans who own multi-million dollar estates, whereas the minimum wage hike would directly affect the working poor. The paper concludes that most of the Senate's Republicans favored the bill because of the estate tax cut implications, whereas most Democrats would have favored the bill only if it focused exclusively on raising the minimum wage.
From the Paper
"Democrats oppose an estate tax cut in part for the same reasons they favor a minimum wage increase. Estate tax revenues can potentially be huge: capital gains taxes currently run about 15%. Yet only the wealthiest Americans benefit from estate tax cuts and Americans who would qualify are in the vast minority. The vast majority of Americans, on the other hand, might benefit from an increase in minimum wages. Only the tiniest percentage of Americans own multi-million dollar estates while a substantial portion of Americans earn close to the minimum wage."

Contents:
Western Union's Experience

A Program Based on Research
Teachers and Tuition
Health Care and Tuition Reimbursement
Where Does Tuition Reimbursement Fit?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Analyzing these statistics points toward tuition reimbursement as a 'can't fail' proposition for the employer. First, in virtually all cases, the employer specifies what is reimbursable, making it easy for the employer to both support the employee in his or her quest (a benefit to the employee) and make sure that the employee must contribute something to the effort. Setting a dollar amount maximum would enhance the likelihood that the employee would attempt to choose only the most valuable courses, knowing that if he or she did not use the program wisely, they might not be able to be reimbursed for courses in subjects they really want or need.
Three-quarters of the employers reimburse only after a course is successfully completed, limiting their financial exposure to courses for which the employee was willing to contribute the work needed to succeed. Setting a minimum service requirement to retain reimbursement is a sensible and logical move; that not only ensures that the company reaps the benefit of the employee's increased knowledge and wisdom, but also ensures that the employee does not use tuition dollars from their current employer to run out and find employment, with their greater credentials, elsewhere, at least not until the ink is dry on the diploma. However, "Only 26 percent of employers set an expectation or requirement that an employee will return all or a portion of tuition reimbursement if he or she leaves soon after finishing a course or degree."

History of the Patients' Bill of Rights
Why the Patients' Bill of Rights has Failed
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Before exploring the more complex issues involved, it is necessary to understand the general intentions of the Patients' Bill of Rights. Numerous bills involving patients' rights have been presented to the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. Discussed in this paper are the most pertinent bills specific to the Patients' Bill of Rights: the 1998 Patients' Bill of Rights, H.R. 3605 and S. 1890; the Bipartisan Patient Protection Act of 2001, S. 1052, S. 872, and H.R. 526; and the 2005 Patients' Bill of Rights, H.R. 2259, H.R. 2650, and S. 1012. In general, federal legislation that safeguards patients' rights is supported by both major political parties and the President, and also has considerable public appeal (Chavez, 2001, 606; Chaddock, 2001, 1)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the life of Bill Gates, founder and chairman of Microsoft. It details his young adult life and how he came to create a new computer operating system. Further, how he built the Microsoft empire and changed technology, business, and society. It also briefly examines a few of the legal cases against Microsoft.
From the paper:
"William or ?Bill? H. Gates III is chief executive and co-founder of the largest software company in the world, the Microsoft Corporation. Last year, Microsoft made a $953 million dollar profit on sales of $3.75 billion dollars. As Microsoft's largest stockholder, Bill Gates is worth nearly $6.1 billion, making him this country's second wealthiest man. He is at thirty-eight years old, America?s youngest self-made billionaire. Microsoft's $25 billion market value tops that of Ford, General Motors, 3M, Boeing, RJR Nabisco, General Mills, Anheuser-Busch or Eastman Kodak. (Resin ?The Bill Gates Interview?) This paper will attempt to analyze the character of Bill Gates, explain the nature of the corporation he created, and explicate some of the difficulties he and his corporation have faced economically and personally. It will suggest that although Gates has done many controversial things throughout his life as both a man and as chief executive of Microsoft, the overall effects he has had upon the country and upon the computer industry have been positive ones."

From the Paper
"In addition, most predictions note that costs as a private four-year institution could rise dramatically in the next few years, and it would seem unlikely colleges could make up a shortfall of great magnitude by increasing tuition and other student fees. Even now, there is resistance to increased student fees. In addition, it must be assumed that however well the endowments of some colleges might have done in the recent economic slowdown, certainly none could expect to beat the general trend of the market by much, so this, too, could be a factor in financial stress for institutions of higher learning."

Bill of Rights, 2005.
An overview of the U.S. Bill of Rights and a summary of some of the amendments.

Abstract
The Bill of Rights was ratified into the United States Constitution in 1791. The Bill consists of 10 amendments and was created to define the liberties of the people of the United States that the government could not infringe upon. This paper provides a brief history of the Bill of Rights before delving into several of the amendments incorporated into the Bill, including the First, Sixth and Eighth Amendments.
From the Paper
"The Eighth Amendment prevents the government from imposing excessive bail or fines and says cruel or unusual punishments shall not be inflicted (Lowi & Ginsburg, 2000). In this case, we can see that it takes the power of the government to punish criminals but, at the same time, it adds restrictions to that power. All of these examples show that the Bill of Rights expresses civil liberties; liberties that are for the people, and states that the government cannot take action that would go against or infringe upon on these rights."
