According to the article, deregulation has benefited the black community while the Hispanics have been disadvantaged whereby only a few get to complete college in the stated time because the tuition fee is high and the 2003 deregulation policy does not favor them. The authors suggest that the state government should go back and look into the provisions of the policy. The article will be used to understand how high tuition rates affect those who cannot receive loans and grants while in university. Tuition fee at the university is higher for the Hispanic immigrants to raise it on time and compete with fellow students.

According to Shannon, food is a basic need where when one skip meals, chances are high that he or she will have poor concentration in class. The authors suggest that since the tuition fee keeps rising there is need to be aid including food scholarships. The source will be used to explore the struggles that students go through in order to complete their college education. Also, the article will be used to see how affected students tend to survive while in college. It is true there should be food/ accommodation scholarships since they are basic needs and affects one’s learning ability if there is shortage in food supply or lack of proper accommodation.

The shifts have ae it difficult for college students to complete their education on time forcing them to work for more hours compared to hours spent in learning. According to the authors, public education is failing by narrowing gaps for minority societies who cannot afford expensive schools giving the students from working class a chance to pursue studies despite their intelligence. There are a lot of bright students left out as a result of not being able to afford school fees. They end article will be used to determine the effects of shifts in institutions especially in terms of school fees. It is evident that not everyone has the capability of affording expensive schools or staying up to date with shifts in institutions.
