The cost of education is going to be unsustainable just like the cost of advanced medical treatments. A crisis is coming.
From: Friam <[email protected]> on behalf of Nick Thompson <[email protected]> Reply-To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group <[email protected]> Date: Monday, October 22, 2018 at 12:20 PM To: Friam <[email protected]> Subject: [FRIAM] Open Letter Dear local congregation, Is there a chance that any of you would like to join me in sending this letter to the New Mexican, or some version of it? To the New Mexican We are writing to urge all Santa Feans to be sure to vote this year, particularly if you are a recent high-school graduate or are related to one. Our higher-educational systems are under stress, and our elected officials need to know you are paying attention. We are retired college professors and industrial researchers, living in Santa Fe. Every day, we talk to young people as smart and as dedicated to learning as our best research students in the 70’s and 80’s, yet are working as cashiers, ride hail drivers, waiters and waitresses. Under present conditions, these young folks cannot afford to go to university and, without that training, will never take up the leadership positions their talent deserves. As more and more of my generation retire from our institutes, government laboratories, colleges, and universities, our nation will desperately need these talented young people. Please take time to vote and to let your representatives know that you care about education at every level. The future safety and prosperity of our nation depends on it. Lemme know. Nick Nicholas S.
