Indulge me for a minute, Facebook because Im going to piss into - TopicsExpress



          

Indulge me for a minute, Facebook because Im going to piss into the wind: For years, I dreamed of attending the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Earning my degree in 2000 changed my life. Today I received news that the school will hike its tuition $15,000, almost ensuring that students who are like me would find it impossible to attend. I am sad beyond words. My professional life was shaped by people like William Drummond, Paul Grabowicz, and even Robert Gunnison (who I think I drove a little crazy). But as I told the Dean, I cant actively support a program that has made it impossible for somebody with my background to attend. Maybe that will change in the future. Maybe the school has a plan to reach into under-served populations such as those in Appalachia. I hope so. Id hate to think Ive walked the halls of North Gate for the last time. More importantly, I hate to think of the students who might never have the chance to walk the halls at all.
