Obama focuses on higher education
In his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, President Obama addressed the issue of higher education, stressing the need to make it more of a priority for states and the federal government.
"Higher education can't be a luxury," Obama said. "It's an economic imperative that every family in America should be able to afford."
He said that it's not enough to increase government aid to students.
"We can't just keep subsidizing skyrocketing tuition," he said. "We'll run out of money."
In addition, Obama warned colleges and universities that if they couldn't find ways to stop ever-increasing tuition prices, he would limit amount of federal financial aid they're eligible to receive.
"So let me put colleges and
universities on notice: If you can't stop tuition from going up," he said, "the funding you get from taxpayers will go down."
He recommended extending the tuition tax credit, doubling the number of work-study jobs in the next five years and urged legislators to prevent the interest rates on student loans from doubling in July.

SCHOOL
Misspelling of 'school' erased outside building
NEW YORK — An embarrassing misspelling of "school" is gone from the street outside a New York City school building.
Utility workers used heavy machinery to grind up the wrongly placed "H" and "C" in the "SHOCOL X-K" sign on
Tuesday.
The words were created with industrial textured tape that permanently sticks to the asphalt.
The correction was made a day after the New York Post reported the spelling error.
