Fwd: "Is College A Ripoff?" Arvin Vohra @American University, April 11, 8 p.m.

----------


Hi All:
I'll be speaking at American University on Wednesday, April 11, at the Students for Liberty sponsored talk, "Is College a Ripoff?" It's free and open to the public, and it's on one of the most important political and economic topics today. If you're around, this will be an exciting event, and I'd obviously like a couple friendly faces in the audience. Details follow. -Arvin

Youtube: Arvin Vohra: Is college a lie? April 11, American University, 8 p.m. SIS Founders' Room
Description:
Over the last decades college tuition in America has skyrocketed, increasing faster than medical costs, and at about three times the rate of inflation. In fact, students in private colleges pay around $100/hr to attend lectures (e.g., in a lecture class of 200 people, the University receives $20,000/hour). On April 11, Arvin Vohra, author of Lies, Damned Lies, and College Admissions, will offer his controversial analysis on the current state of American higher education, including:

The real reasons that college tuition is so high, and the College Bubble
What most colleges censor from their courses, and why
The unintended consequences of current financial aid laws
How college education has deformed high school educaiton
Public policy initiatives, alternatives, and the future of higher education

The event begins with a presentation, followed by Q&A, and is sponsored by the American University Students for Liberty.
Please forward this to anyone who you think may be interested. 
Also, here's a short documentary about my educational business, made by AU graduate Rachel Lincoln. This was made before the book came out, but should give at least a hint of something or other.

The Color of Crime

 The Color of Crime

New Century Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1994 to study immigration and race relations so as to better understand the consequences of America's increasing diversity.

Perhaps the most important publication of New Century Foundation is The Color of Crime, New Century Foundation's report on differences in crime rates by race, bias in the justice system, and interracial crime. First published as a monograph in 1999, the 2005 edition of The Color of Crime is available online as a free PDF download.

Watch Jared Taylor's June 2,1999, announcement on C-SPAN of the publication of The Color of Crime (video).

Crime Rates

·         Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.

·         Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.

·         The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.

Quote of the Day from the Los Angeles Times

 

"Frankly, I don't know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. I'm not bragging, you understand, but no other state, including Maine, even comes close. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington , we're Number One. There's no getting around the fact that the last time anyone saw the likes of Barbara Boxer, Dianne Feinstein, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi, they were stirring a cauldron when the curtain went up on 'Macbeth'. The four of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don't know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words." -- Columnist Burt Prelutsky, Los Angeles Times

Can I get an Amen?!

New post on Fellowship of the Minds Can I get an Amen?! by DCG Sheriff: Concealed Weapon Saves Church From Man Armed With Shotgun Church Report:  A South Carolina man kicked open a side door to a church Sunday and pointed a shotgun menacingly before worshipers grappled him to the floor, authorities said.  No shots were fired in the harrowing incident at Boiling Springs' Southside Freewill Baptist Church, the Spartanburg Herald Journal reported. Police arrested Jesse Gates, 38, who also was carrying a hunting knife, and his sister, Angela Michelle Gates, 34, who drove him to the church, the newspaper said. The Rev. Henry Guyton said Gates had shown up before the service acting "like he was having a heart attack" and asking that someone call a television station. Guyton said he called 911 instead. Deputies and emergency medical services staff checked out Gates and he left the church, only to return with a shotgun, the Herald Journal said. Guyton's 26-year-old grandson Aaron was in a recreation building next door and saw Gates take the gun out of the trunk of a car.  "At that point, I knew I had to do something," the younger Guyton said. "I wanted to try to contain him outside." Aaron Guyton went in the church and locked the doors, but Gates forced his way inside where the church members took action. Jesse Smith and Leland Powers held the gunman down while Aaron Guyton, who has a conceal-carry permit, held a gun on him until deputies arrived, the newspaper said. "The gun was loaded," Henry Guyton said. "I said, 'Jesse, what did you do it for?' He said, 'They took my children and won't let me see them.' "I'm glad the Lord took care of everything. The police did a good job too." Gates was charged with second-degree violent burglary, disturbing a place of worship, kidnapping, and three counts of pointing and presenting a firearm.  Gates' sister was charged with accessory before the fact of a felony. Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright commended Aaron Guyton for having a concealed weapons permit.  "We're very fortunate we didn't have gruesome scenes to work there," Wright said. "I like the fact that a concealed weapons permit holder was prepared to protect the worshipers."
