A must read for ALL college students

After reading this book I have to say that all college students, especially those at public schools, must read this book. I am not sure what the rate is at other schools, but here at the University of Minnesota each student was charged $275 a semester in student fees this year, and the vast majority of them don't know that. This book will teach you the history of student fees, along with the way a fees system has to be set up according to the relevant court cases. I have to agree with the guy who reviewed this book before me on most of his points, except that this book should also be read by liberals, because you are also missing out when you are forced to pay money to get only half of a market place of ideas.

If you are a conservative student, you need this book

As an experienced campus fees warrior, I'm here to tell you that you're behind the times. There are so few people up on the modern student services fees process that public universities have been able to manipulate the system to their own agendas. But if you are at a public university, and you are interested in learning how the fees money that is taken from you is allocated, then you need this book.If you think what you need to do is focus on eliminating fees, you're wrong, and this book will tell you why. If you think that your fees process at your university is fair, you're wrong, and this book will tell you why. If you're a conservative activist on campus and think you and your cause shouldn't get involved in fees, you're wrong, and this book will tell you why.Included in this book is a step by step process that will tell you the history of student services fees, how they moved on from legitimate student services to an intensely liberal institution. How court cases over the last 20 years have ended the present hope of many conservatives to end mandatory fees systems, court cases that are included in the book. A guide to legal terms, and a suggestion on where to go from today's system to a fair system that includes all viewpoints. If you want to stop being out of the loop, stop being behind the times, if you are lost and confused, you need this book. It's a clear and concise manual for students.Get active, get smart, get this book
