Living wager - Should the University bet on adopting a living wage for lower-paid workers?By: Nick Anthis Students have to make many tough decisions regarding school, social obligations and future careers, but few have to decide among basic life necessities. Some of Texas A&M's low-wage employees do not have this luxury. These are the same men and women on whom we depend to keep A&M running smoothly. Because no worker should have to live in poverty, A&M should pay all of its full-time employees a living wage. |

Tuition reform is a step in the right direction, but not enoughBy: Nick Anthis Texas A&M President Robert M. Gates and three student members of his Tuition Policy Advisory Council (TPAC) described potential new tuition structures for A&M Jan. 31 at a public forum. While claiming to keep their options open, they clearly advocated a flat-tuition policy. Although such a policy could conceivably stabilize A&M's exponentially rising tuition rates and improve A&M's four-year graduation rate, its efficacy has not been demonstrated, and it ignores the needs of several groups of students, including science and engineering majors. |
