美國大學實施改造計劃

　　8月20日CNN聽力：美國大學實行改革籌劃 門生事情了償膏火

　　New report in our series on affording the cost ofcollege:

　　federal work study jobs can give you the chance towork part-time while you are in school, but a schoolhas to participate in the government program, andnot all students qualify for it.

　　Private school, in particular, is expensive.

　　Sticker price including room and board for the average U.S. private college, more than 42,000per year.

　　But at Blackburn College in Illinois, it's just under 24,000 per year.

　　The price comes down when students work at it.

　　Some universities are starting to look like resorts with pricy amenities like SPAs rock walls andswimming pools, and they are passing along the bill to students.

　　Tuition expenses have risen more than 1200 percent since 1978, but Blackburn College inIllinois is keeping tuition cost low.

　　Thanks to a little thrift.

　　Blackburn College is expanding.

　　It has a 2.5 million renovation project.

　　But a novel way to pay for it.

　　Student work crews.

　　You can see where students for years have been literally laying the bricks.

　　We do maintain a pretty lean organizational stuffing structure,and that is done with theexpectation that we do use students to supplement those labor needs.

　　And it's not just construction jobs.

　　90 percent of the student body works ten hours per week on campus.

　　In everything from gardening to security to administrative positions.

　　IN exchange, they get tuition credit.

　　But you see the parents who say, oh, I don't want my kid to go to school to work.

　　I don't want them to be distracted.

　　I want them to go to spend four years to learn.

　　We do have that.

　　We do have parents that question that piece of it, and what we explain to them,that this is anenhancement, this is an enhancement to their overall portfolio that will make them moremarketable upon graduation.

　　咱們的節目中就大學的用度題目有了新的新聞:

　　聯邦研討事情可以給你在黌舍時代的兼職機遇,但黌舍必需介入當局項目,並且並不是全部的門生都具備資歷。

　　特別是私立黌舍,更加昂貴。

　　美國私立大學標價包含食宿,均勻每一年跨越42000美元。

　　但在伊利諾斯州,布萊克本學院每一年的用度還不到24000美元。

　　而門生在校事情的時刻這筆用度也會降低。

　　一些大學開端看起來像具備水療巖墻和泅水池等昂貴舉措措施的度假村落,並且對門生也有一些計劃。

　　自1978年以來膏火用度上漲了跨越1200%,但伊利諾斯州的布萊克本大學仍然保持低膏火本錢。

　　這滿是由於一點點節省的原因。

　　布萊克本大學正在擴建。

　　它有一個250萬美元的改革項目。

　　但投資的方法倒是標新立異。

　　那便是門生們作為事情職員事情。

　　你可以看到,字面上講，多年來門生們一向在鋪設磚塊。

　　咱們保持的是一種異常有構造性的事情構造,並且在預期內完成,咱們經由過程門生彌補勞動力需求。

　　並且不但是修建事情。

　　90%的門生每周在校園裏事情10小時。

　　從園藝到平安再到治理的各個職位。

　　作為交流,他們得到膏火貸款。

　　但你看到怙恃會說,哦,我不想讓我的孩子去黌舍幹活。

　　我不想讓他們分心。

　　我想讓他們去花4年時光去教室進修。

　　咱們確切碰到過如許的題目。

　　咱們碰到過對此發生質疑的怙恃,咱們會向他們說明,這是一種進步,他們的團體歷練而言是一種供給,這將使他們卒業後更具備才能。
