Theyre not as good as the fouryear Public Institution degree but that theyre allowing people who are working without degrees to go back, often times in their 30s and get i think theres plenty of public in most places theres plenty of public options. I worked for free for the university of the people, that is essentially free. And just as good as the university of phoenix which is going to charge you a lot of money for exactly the same amount of educationsive convenience.

Theyre getting the public really known cussing on the fact that theyre just hoovering up Public Resources theyre not really free theyre not really businesses that are standing in competition in the real economy. Theyre just these just like defense contractors with no bid. Theyre just something that are actually just like welfare su

The final panel from this Years National black writers conference. Thank you for coming out this afternoon. We really, really, really are glad to see you here and glad you stayed over these four days. When i founded the center for black literature in 2003, one of the major goals was to host the National Black writer withs conference, and it was a vision of john oliver kilns who was poet and writer in residence at that time, and he would have been 100 years in january. He wanted to support the work of black writers by hosting programs and holding a conference every year. And we did this through the center for black literature where we have literary readings, workshops, symposia and Youth Programs for our students.
