However, I've noticed that the children of native Oregonians cannot often afford to go to their own universities, and often have to settle for other types of education or work. This is such a widespread phenomenon, that when I talk to young people who were born here, most of them cannot afford to go to University of Oregon or other four-year college, and have to settle for work or lower form of education, where you would make a lot less money on graduation. It is fine to have out-of-state students come here, and pay a lot of money for tuition, to support our colleges; however, it is a completely different matter for our own children to not be able to afford to go to their own universities in Oregon. -- and to have to settle for lower incomes as a result of that lack of education. The head of the University of Oregon at present is not making it any easier for native Oregonians to go to that school; indeed, he has only made it more difficult and more expensive! IS THERE SOME REASON WHY Oregon kids have no help, when it comes for the huge expense of going to universities here? And why out-of-staters are so welcomed with open arms, that our own kids are shoved out of the way, when they want to go to the University of Oregon, too? WHOSE school is it, anyway? Does the University of Oregon and other Oregon colleges only worship money, while they ignore the children of Oregonians? There is always a lot of support for minority groups to go to school; WHY is there no support for children of native Oregonians to go to their own universities, when they are made so very expensive for them to attend?many of we parents have big complaints about this. it is good that outside wealthy students who come here, help our money situation in universities.
