Huffington Post: Liberal Arts Colleges Forced To Evolve With Market

Posted: 30 Dec 2012 09:47 AM PST

ADRIAN, Mich. — They're the places you think of when you think of "college" – leafy campuses, small classes, small towns. Liberal arts colleges are where students ponder life's big questions, and learn to think en route to successful careers and richer lives, if not always to the best-paying first jobs.

But today's increasingly career-focused students mostly aren't buying the idea that a liberal arts education is good value, and many small liberal arts colleges are struggling. The survivors are shedding their liberal arts identity, if not the label. A study published earlier this year found that of 212 such institutions identified in 1990, only 130 still meet the criteria of a "true liberal arts college." Most that fell off the list remained in business, but had shifted toward a pre-professional curriculum.

Posted: 30 Dec 2012 09:53 AM PST

The mother of Thomas Doty, a young man who died from cancer, says that her family is still being harassed by the perpetrator of a cruel hoax that gave them false hope.

The Doty family claims that a false donor has harassed them for weeks, calling and saying she would deliver $250,000 in aid for their son. That help never materialized.

"[During] the time she wasted, there was another tumor growing that started out the size of a grape, and when the eight weeks went by it was the size of an orange," Doty told ABC News.

Huffington Post: John Boehner Rebukes Obama's 'Meet The Press' Fiscal Cliff Remarks

Posted: 30 Dec 2012 10:10 AM PST

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) rebuked President Obama's remarks on Republicans' role in fiscal cliff negotiations, slamming the president for his "ironic" statement on Sunday's "Meet the Press."

"Americans elected President Obama to lead, not cast blame," Boehner said in a Sunday statement. "The president's comments today are ironic, as a recurring theme of our negotiations was his unwillingness to agree to anything that would require him to stand up to his own party. Needed cuts and reforms that the president agreed to just last year were no longer on the table, as he cited an inability to sell them to Democrats."

Boehner continued: "Republicans made every effort to reach the 'balanced' deficit agreement that the president promised the American people, while the president has continued to insist on a package skewed dramatically in favor of higher taxes that would destroy jobs. We've been reasonable and responsible. The president is the one who has never been able to get to 'yes.'"
