Gonzaga Rejects Calls to Disinvite Tutu

Gonzaga University is rejecting calls from some alumni that it rescind its invitation to Archbishop Desmond Tutu to be commencement speaker this year, The Spokesman-Review reported. Critics of the invitation say that the Roman Catholic institution shouldn't honor the Anglican cleric who was a leader in the fight against apartheid because he disagrees with Roman Catholic teachings on various issues related to gender and sexuality. But the university released a statement defending the invitation. "In the 1980s and early 90s, Gonzaga faculty, staff and trustees, together with a generation of students, worked to bring awareness of the evils of apartheid in South Africa to the forefront of the Spokane community,” the statement said. "At the University’s 2012 undergraduate commencement, we are privileged to welcome a world-renowned Christian leader and social rights activist whose faith-based lifelong dedication to the cause of justice so clearly resonates with our work as a university."

Report Documents Growth of Tuition Tax Breaks (and Urges Elimination)

A report by Education Sector shows how rapidly the federal government has increased its spending on tax credits and deductions for college tuition -- tax breaks that disproportionately help upper-income taxpayers. Financial aid experts have noted that amid many complaints about the exploding costs of the Pell Grant Program, which mostly assists low-income students, relatively little attention has been paid to tuition tax breaks. In addition to documenting the growth of the tax breaks, the Education Sector report urges their elimination. "At a time when Congress is struggling to fund the Pell Grant program and financially needy students who pursue a higher education are facing mountains and mountains of debt, policymakers need to refocus the government’s resources on its core mission of eliminating the financial barriers that prevent low-income and working-class students from enrolling in and completing college," the report states.
