Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 489 Nothing is not a business

Fleming's first statement made Carter frown.

I am thinking about how to increase the depth and breadth of local school cooperation, you are good
Said it was protecting the interests of student volunteers, but Carter always felt that this guy was fighting against each other!
It is suspected that the school has deducted the reasonable income of the students, and it is suspected that some schools in New Haven are unwilling to increase the price.Whatever the truth of the matter, in a pragmatic spirit, Carter felt:

At this initial stage of cooperation, even if Yale suffers a bit, the progress of cooperation cannot be stalled because of this!The issue of labor-management relations is undoubtedly an issue that is very likely to cause confrontation.
This does not mean not to solve its unreasonable place, but to put the overall situation first!

Only by letting many local industries in New Haven benefit from Yale will there be more cooperation and more development.After it develops, it will not be too late to settle accounts
But speaking of unions
Why is there no news from Detroit? !

"Second point, scholarship reform. I hope to advocate the establishment of a need-based scholarship system, rather than simply evaluating whether the student's performance is outstanding. We have all experienced the process of applying to Yale, and we also know clearly that an outstanding Standardized test scores, combined with a fairly dazzling or distinctive extracurricular experience, will be a plus."

"But this is not suitable for most students, especially those from poor families. In terms of grades, the quality of education between private middle schools and public middle schools is different. Let alone the difference, we have always chosen the best from the best. Those who can do well in education In public middle schools with poorer resources, those with high test scores are undoubtedly more talented. But gradually, the atmosphere has become more and more weird over the years!"

"Under the circumstances that standardized test scores cannot widen the individual gaps among applicants, extracurricular experience is becoming more and more important in the consideration of the application stage. So much so that it affects the assessment and judgment of many aspects, from the application review stage before admission, From scholarship application to award selection on campus."

"It is not a mistake that people with excellent resumes are more likely to get full scholarships. But when academic performance gradually becomes secondary, and when extracurricular experience becomes a measure of whether to grant full scholarships, all this changes! "

I don't know if I didn't notice the change in Carter's expression, or if I noticed it, but didn't care.Brenton Fleming continued to talk about his campaign platform.
All this is actually not much different from the US presidential election:
Talk about what you would do if you became a leader. Commonly known as painting cakes!

The better the picture, the more people fooled, the greater the probability of being elected!After being elected, it doesn’t matter if we didn’t do it, it’s just that we were voted out in the re-election, but we did it anyway, didn’t we?As long as you don't make it too. Too stretched, in terms of general evaluation, I will still leave a name for you.

This experience, in the face of most situations, is enough to add points!

"A wealth of extracurricular experience is inseparable from money! I used to be a volunteer in the admissions office. According to my observation and statistics, applicants with rich extracurricular experience generally have higher family income than applicants with less extracurricular experience. The more Those who excel in extracurricular experience have higher annual family income!"

"Their family income is already very high, and limited scholarship resources are given to them at this time. Is this unfair to students who are relatively poor and need this scholarship more? Leadership performance It is important, but we are an academic research university, and academic ability cannot become unimportant just because it is the foundation."

"I hope to promote scholarship reform during my tenure as the chairman. When reviewing scholarship applications, pay more attention to the actual needs of students. Let those students who really need the money to complete their studies be able to get it!"

"The idea is good and reasonable. But I personally think that this is not a good time to promote this matter."

Carter took the lead, and he no longer has much patience to listen to this man continue to talk about his "government" program.

Can't this man see the situation clearly? !
It is certainly fair and good to promote a scholarship distribution model based on actual needs!Even Carter knew that in the future, some American colleges and universities will implement the Need-blind scholarship model.

This model is the one that decides whether to admit you or not, regardless of your family background, but only whether your application is excellent.As for the admission, if the applicant cannot afford the fee, the school will use the Need-blind scholarship to pay for it for you, and you don't need to go to the bank to apply for a student loan.This scholarship does not need to be repaid.At the same time, there is no need to fill in the SSS or NAIS bursary application form like applying for a bursary
This system is very good, but no matter how good the system is, it must have the soil to take shape!
Need-blind scholarship, the most important thing is money!

Where does the money come from?
Either the school has money, such as a lot of campus donations, such as school-enterprise cooperation, and the benefits are large; or there are many social teams supporting the school and many sponsors
At this stage when Yale is poor, you propose to reform the need-blind scholarship. Isn’t this a meal without rice? !
To be honest, Carter is quite supportive of Yale's current practice of attaching more importance to inheritance factors when admitting applicants!
The reason is simple, do this, and make money!

There is nothing wrong with students, or their families, being rich.But among the schools of the same grade, one will pay you back and the other will not, who would most people choose?

There are only so many rich people, and if one is missing, one loses.Spend such a little money to lure people in first.Then after he graduates, the income of this group of people will generally be stronger than the average person, right?
According to the campus donation tradition of American colleges and universities, they can give back more sponsorship to the school!Not to mention the high level of regular sponsorship, these people's network and social status are also relatively high.Does that mean that after graduating from Yale, they can also increase Yale's public awareness in the society in disguise?
Suppose that most of the rich people in a certain area are Yale graduates.I am afraid that many people in the area will target Yale, which is another source of more students, and...
More financial returns!
It seems wasteful to waste limited resources on such a group of people who can easily pay tuition fees without scholarships, but from a long-term perspective, this is the most appropriate way.

Another Douglas-style question, obviously unfair and obviously not good.But if you want Yale to develop steadily and get better and better, you have to do so
Of course, there are benefits in the short term too!

For example, after such a group of students with rich families enter Yale, their per capita spending power will be stronger than that of students from poor families!

This can drive the development of New Haven's economy faster, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Before considering the academic nature of the school, don't forget:

In America, nothing is not a business!
And this Fleming seems to have been unaware of this.
