Higher Education Costs
The costs of higher education are an ongoing con-
cern to students and their parents, and taxpayers. Many
students struggle with substantial debts from student
loans on graduation. Contributing to the high cost is
theffact that most students do not graduate from col-
lege in four years. The U.S. Department of Education
says that forty-four percent of 2007-08 graduates ob-
tained their degrees within 48 months. The median time
was 52 months.
Factors that contribute to the problem are students
who are not prepared for college and need remedial
courses and students who change majors. While there
are circumstances where it makes sense for a student to
change majors, those changes should be kept to a mini-
mum. Other factors are part-time students who are
working to earn money for their tuition, required
courses being full and not available to all students who
need them to graduate and colleges that require more
than 120 credit hours to graduate. Some students take
courses entitling them to college credit while still in high
school. That makes it easier for them to get their college
degree in four years, or in some cases even less.
According to The Center for College Affordability
and Reliability, taxpayers would save $7.5 billion each
year nationally, if all students graduated in four years.
Though we recognize that it's not possible for every-
one, it surely is obvious that students could save money
if they plan their college majors and courses carefully
and graduate in four years. Though it is a little off the
subject of costs, I also encourage students to plan their
courses so that they have a marketable skill on gradua-
tion so they can find a job.
Crime Victim Compensation
The Crime Victim Compensation Program is found
in Iowa Code Chapter 915. It is administered by the Iowa
Attorney General. It compensates crime victims and
their families for damages and out of pocket expenses
if the criteria are met. Persons suffering personal injury
as a result of a crime, trying to stop a crime or appre-
hend a suspect may be eligible. In case of death, their
heirs may be eligible. Compensation is paid only after
other sources, such as health insurance, have been ex-
hausted. Generally, victims must report the crime and
apply for compensation within two years. The victims
must not have been committing a crime, or consented
to or provoked the crime, to be eligible.
As always, feel free to contact me with your ideas or
concerns at 515-281-3221 or Julian.Garrett@legis.
