Blog critique

In the blog Mensan's local revue I found an article titled Should texas state offer a tuition-cap for higher education?

This article caught my attention because it is an issue that I can relate to being a college student in the State of Texas and once being an international student like the author.

This article starts by the author arguing how expensive it has become to attend higher education in the State especially for minorities and low income students. The article emphasises the impact on increase tuition, it can denied access to many prospect students along with a reduction in faculty and staff jobs. The author main argument is that if there is a tuition cap for higher education it would open the doors to all students that desire to attend school.

I strongly believe the author writes to lesgislators and to all students who identified with this issue that can be influence by the article to make a change. The writer expresses very personal thoughts like having to work two jobs just to pay for tuition, which I personally can relate to as well, and the gap it creates between low income and more priviledge students.
I agree that if a change is not done soon, it can dramatically affect the future of the State of Texas and its citizens.
