Penn State Denies Orphaned Student Who Lives In Pennsylvania In-State Tuition

0

Facebook

Rachel Higgins, who grew up in my hometown, Wayne, New Jersey, has been living at Penn State for over the last year, yet despite this, the school has denied her in-state tuition.

Higgins’ father passed away in 2013, and her mom died in 2016, as Higgins was finishing her freshman year at Penn State, where she has called home ever since. However, because of some bureaucratic bullshit at the school, she might lose that home, too, as Penn State denied her appeal to be allowed to pay the in-state tuition rate.

Higgins, 20, has lived in Pennsylvania since she began attending Penn State during the summer of 2015. She says that if she has to pay the out-of-state tuition cost of about $48,000, she will not be able to afford to return to school.

“I gave them the death certificate and everything,” she told Penn Live, “I was hoping they would understand that.”

via Penn Live:

The problem is she fails to meet this part of Penn State’s residency policy: In order to qualify for the in-state tuition rate, someone must have been a Pennsylvania resident for at least a year before enrolling at Penn State. An Aug. 4 letter informing Higgins of her appeal outcome said in part: “Note that it is possible to be a resident of the Commonwealth, yet not meet with requirements of residency for purposes of tuition.”

Following her mother’s death, Higgins took the address of a cousin who lives near Scranton. She now has a Pennsylvania address for things including her driver’s license and car registration. Since her mother’s death, she has usually stayed on campus or with a friend during school breaks and holidays. Higgins, who would be a junior, studies animal science and hopes to work on a horse farm.

Both of her parents, who were split up, had battled cancer for years. She lived with her father prior to his death from cancer in 2013. She then moved into a rented home with her mother, who also succumbed to cancer.

A spokesman for Penn State University said the policy is intended to prevent someone who is essentially an out of state-of-state resident from getting a local address for the purpose of paying the in-state tuition rate, however, their decision comes across as nothing short of tone deaf.

Just a greedy move from a university who has struggled with their image over the last couple of years. Penn State is a billion-dollar institution that could easily afford to accommodate Higgins, yet they are choosing not to, and it’s despicable.

Rachel has created a GoFundMe page for herself, so if you’re feeling charitable today, pitch into a good cause.

Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor are less than two weeks away from going toe to toe, and the hype for the fight is growing and growing.

You know what else is growing? Our need to see these UFC ring girls more than once-in-a-blue moon. Rather than have to wait for a huge matchup or fight card, we’d appreciate seeing the Octagon Girls announce other important moments in our day: like lunchtime, or 4:20, or when it’s 11:11 and your friend with borderline OCD taps his phone twice. Productivity would certainly decrease but at least our general mood and happiness would skyrocket.

There is little doubt that the UFC has employed some of the most attractive women in the world to help promote their fights before and during their fights. They’re called the Octagon Girls, and they’re gorgeous.

About Las Ramblas Tourist District

La Rambla is a street in central Barcelona, popular with tourists and locals alike. A tree-lined pedestrian mall, it stretches for 1.2 kilometers connecting Plaça de Catalunya in the center with the Christopher Columbus monument at Port Vell. La Rambla forms the boundary between the quarters of Barri Gòtic, to the east, and El Raval, to the west.

La Rambla can be crowded, especially during the height of the tourist season. Its popularity with tourists has affected the character of the street, with a move to pavement cafes and souvenir kiosks. It has also suffered from the attention of pickpockets and especially towards its southern end, sex workers.

The Spanish poet Federico García Lorca once said that La Rambla was “the only street in the world which I wish would never end.”

Upcoming Xbox One Games

Back at it again with the top fives. We’ve compiled a list of our most-anticipated late-summer and fall 2017 games for each platform, and the Xbox One is next.

Xbox One was lacking this year in terms of exclusives, but there are a few titles to look forward to in the near future. Three Microsoft exclusives are featured in the list below, as well as two titles that’ll surely arouse many. (Is arouse the appropriate word? Hell yes.)

Let’s get to it. Here are our top five upcoming Xbox One games.


Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite

Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4 and PC
Release Date: September 19, 2017

Experience the return to mashed up mayhem in the fourth entry of the beloved fighting series featuring characters from the Marvel and Capcom universes. Infinite arrives next month with a stellar cast, from Captain America and Rocket Racoon to Dante and Frank West. It’s worth a shot even if you’re not keen on the fighting genre. Aside from the Arcade and Missions modes, Infinite will feature a beautiful cinematic Story mode using elements from its IPs.

See Mega Man X and Ryu take on Captain Marvel and Iron man in the intensely colorful and action-packed trailer above.

PRE-ORDER: Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite


Forza Motorsport 7

Publisher: Microsoft
Developer: Turn 10 Studios
Platforms: Xbox One and PC
Release Date: October 3, 2017

The Forza Motorsport franchise is one of Microsoft’s best exclusive series. It’s successful, fun and pretty af. The polished gameplay and stunning graphics make this title and easy candidate for our top five list. Forza 7 will run at 60 frames-per-second and support 4K, so anyone with a fancy TV will be even more impressed. And if you want to be a showoff, you can cop the Xbox One X this November and get a super boost in resolution.

The game will also have a ton of content, with more than 30 environments, alternating race conditions and the largest assortment of Ferraris, Porsches and Lamborghinis in the franchise’s history. There are more than 700 Forza cars to collect, so hope you have a lot of time on your hands.

PRE-ORDER: Forza Motorsport 7


Call of Duty: WWII

Publisher: Activision
Developer: Sledgehammer Games
Platforms: Xbox One, PS4 and PC
Release Date: November 3, 2017

You should be excited for Call of Duty: WWII for two reasons. For starters, the series is returning to its roots. Before Modern Warfare and the rise of frantic-paced competitive first-person shooters, the Call of Duty series took place during World War II. Now with this next installment, the franchise is taking a break from the jetpacks and wall-running (let Titanfall handle that for now) and getting back to the basics.

The second reason is the game’s developer: Sledgehammer Games, creators of Advanced Warfare. Sledgehammer is the latest dev to join the CoD circulation. Advanced Warfare was the studio’s first time at the helm, and it did a kickass job. You may not have appreciated the game’s futuristic elements, but the campaign and multiplayer were great. Sledgehammer proved it’s deserving of handling the franchise, and we look forward to seeing the studio’s first take on WWII.

PRE-ORDER: Call of Duty: WWII


Crackdown 3

Publisher: Microsoft
Developers: ReAgent Games, Cloudgine and Sumo Digital
Platforms: Xbox One
Release Date: November 7, 2017

Hello, old friend.

Last time we saw Crackdown was in 2010 with the release of the second installment. The series fell off everyone’s radar for years until a third entry was announced in 2014 … then it fell off our radars again. It’s 2017, and the wait is almost over. Better late than never.

If you’re not familiar with Crackdown, you’re in for a treat. It’s unclear exactly what substance is in said treat, but Crackdown’s over-the-trop, futuristic sandbox gameplay is dope. (See what I did there?) Players assume the role of a super-powered agent trying to win back his city. It will be available only on Xbox One, so those pledged to the console have something to look forward to. Get a glimpse of what’s to come by watching Terry Crews as Commander Jaxon in the trailer above.

PRE-ORDER: Crackdown 3


Cuphead

Publisher: StudioMDHR
Developer: StudioMDHR
Platforms: Xbox One and PC
Release Date: September 29, 2017

What a beautiful age we live in where an indie game can top a “best upcoming games” list. Cuphead is a beautifully crafted 2D adventure game arriving exclusively on Microsoft hardware. Inspired by 1930s cartoons, the hand drawn art, watercolor backgrounds and original jazz recordings ignite a whole new level of admiration. On top of that, the gameplay looks hella wild. It’s a frenzy of invigorating run-and-gun gameplay with a heavy focus on challenging boss battles. We can’t wait to get our hands on it next month.

PRE-ORDER: Cuphead

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and people of Barcelona at this time. As you might know, on Thursday afternoon a van allegedly driven by Driss Oukabir jumped a curb and struck pedestrians on the sidewalk in the Las Ramblas district. Driss then abandoned the vehicle and took off on foot.

At least 13 people are dead because of the attack and more than 50 people are injured.

You may have friends or family in Spain right now, and you might also know that the Clemson, Tulane, Oregon State and Arizona men’s basketball teams are touring Barcelona for the preseason. It appears that all the teams are safe and unharmed, although Oregon State was alarmingly close to the attack when it happened.

Oregon State

Here’s Oregon State head coach, Wayne Tinkle, describing the near-miss.

The Beavers were scheduled to remain in Spain until August 25th, although that timeline is now under review.


Clemson University

The Clemson’s Men’s Basketball Team was scheduled to play against the Barcelona All-Stars tonight. That game has been cancelled. The Clemson Men’s Team is safe and sound, and will return to South Carolina tomorrow morning.


Tulane University

Troy Dannen, the Athletic Director for the Tulane Green Wave, tweeted out that the Men’s Basketball Team is safe and sound. The Green Wave are on a ten-day trip with Head Coach Mike Dunleavy, Sr to play against some Spanish teams.


University of Arizona

The men’s basketball team Twitter account tweeted out just recently that the team is safe and accounted for.

Gabby Allen: Hottest Photos Of The ‘Love Island’ Star

Gabby Allen is a smokin’ hot British babe who came in fourth place on the reality show Love Island. Despite not winning the competition, she was able to walk away with a man on her arm. She nabbed Marcel Somerville, a rapper, DJ, producer, and boyfriend.

Allen and Somerville were named the ‘golden couple’ and seemed destined for victory. However, snarky remarks from Allen pushed back their viewer support.

Before she hit British airwaves, Gabby was a professional dancer and fitness instructor. As a child, she suffered from scoliosis, which required a major operation on her back. But the 12-year-old Allen wasn’t discouraged by the surgery. She worked diligently, relearning how to walk. Within six months of the operation, Allen won a ballet championship.

Now-a-days, she’s either romping through London with fellow Love Island friend Olivia Buckland or spending time with her new love…

WATCH: Incoming TTU Freshman Goes Viral With Questionably Racist Snapchat Video

0

Brandon Wilson Texas Tech Video

Shaun King, the outspoken and often polarizing supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, shared a Snapchat video today on his Facebook page of an incoming freshman at Texas Tech University. The student’s name is Brandon Wilson. In the video that you can watch below, Brandon rants about how there are stupid people of all races (Black, white, Mexican) and inarticulately asks why we can’t all get along.

But that’s not really the issue that Shaun King and others have with Brandon’s video. The issue they have is that he uses the “n” word multiple times in the video. He kind of does the whole Chris Rock “N word versus Black People” schtick, which is far from new. Watch the video for yourself below.

I went back and forth with whether or not to include this kid’s name in the post, but the truth of the matter is that it’s definitely out there anyway, so I’m not doing any more damage than this kid has already done to himself. As a white male, it’s not within my right to come out and say what’s racist and what’s not, but I definitely know enough that I shouldn’t ever use the N-word.

I also know that it’s really a bullshit, p****, loser move for Shuan King to come out on his pulpit and ask for this kid to be expelled from Texas Tech. Shaun, there are literally neo-Nazis bringing Tiki Torches to campuses and you choose this kid to ask to be removed from the school? Come on. Focus your efforts elsewhere.

As for Texas Tech, they responded to the situation perfectly.

You know who doesn’t expel a non-dangerous young man from a school because of a stupid mistake? An institution of learning. A place like Texas Tech University. Obviously you can make the easy connection to Texas -> slavery -> racism, but that’s not what this is really about. This is a teaching moment for a student like Brandon.

That being said, do I want to be his freshman roommate? Absolutely not. I prefer my windows not broken by rocks. But I applaud TTU for standing up for their students. It appears that a couple of others feel the same way too. Here are some replies to the TTU Facebook post.

Texas Woman Didn’t Want To Be A Mom, So She Dumped Her Baby Into A Bush Full Of Ants

0

A Texas mother accused of abandoning her baby girl in a flowerbed told prosecutors that she doesn’t want to be a mother nor does she want to see her child. Sidney Woytasczyk, 21, has been charged with child abandonment for leaving her baby alone in a bush for six hours with wild ants.

Prosecutors say that Wozytasczyk gave birth to the child in the kitchen of her Houston apartment. They also say that she cut the cord and exposed her baby to the elements for six hours as a means to prevent her boyfriend from being frightened off, according to ABC 13.

“We believe that she was trying to hide the fact that she was pregnant and gave birth from her boyfriend,” said Sergeant Matt Ferguson of the Child Abuse division of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Woztasckzyk was arrested after a pedestrian discovered a baby covered in ants. The 21-year-old suspect appeared in Harris County Court for the second time this Wednesday. She told investigators that she didn’t see her baby and she didn’t want to be a mother. She allegedly admits to cutting the baby’s umbilical cord and leaving it naked in a flowerbed.

Meanwhile, the infant victim is currently in the ICU, fighting a bacterial infection which developed after the suspect split her placenta in two. As a result, the baby may be at risk of developing meningitis.

The baby had also endured a rapid heart rate as a result of her injuries. However, she is now in good condition at the neonatal ICU at Texas Children’s Hospital.

“She described the delivery,” said prosecutor to the judge, according to Click2Houston. “The officer asked if she had a boy or a girl and she stated, “A girl.”

“The defendant stated she went outside without wrapping it. She did cut the cord.”

But since the cord was not clamped and tied down, this put the child in danger of bleeding to death as well as developing a bacterial infection, according to authorities.

After dumping the baby, she allegedly cleaned herself up and went to sleep.

If convicted, Woytasczyk can face a maximum of 20 years behind bars. Announcing the charge, assistant Chief Armando Tello of Harris County Sheriff’s Office said: “A felony charge of abandoning a child and causing serious bodily injury has been filed against Sidney Woytasczyk, aged 21, which carries a maximum possible punishment of 20 years in prison.”

A judge set Sidney Woytascyk’s bond at $20,000.

Her boyfriend allegedly had no idea that she was pregnant in the first place. He is currently seeking custody over the baby, and so is the child’s maternal grandmother.

However, the baby will remain in the custody of Child Protective Services for the time being.

Although, CPS can determine within the next week on whether or not the boyfriend or the grandmother has adequate living arrangement for the baby.

Tiffani Butler, with Child Protective Services, said “The caseworker goes out, goes to the home, makes sure there’s adequate space, makes sure it’s a comfortable loving home, make sure it’s safe.”

Rutgers University Is Installing A Pool Or Jacuzzi In Their Football Stadium To Make Losing Seem More Comfortable

Rutgers University will soon be offering a jacuzzi or pool in the student center atop the High Point Solutions Stadium. This will give students an opportunity to lounge and relax while they see their team get crushed this Labor Day weekend. Rutgers will be offering a special Jersey Shore promotion, which will be implementing a new jacuzzi or pool in the student center.

On Thursday, Rutgers announced the “War Before the Shore” promotion, which is offering their students the best seats in the house when the Scarlet Knights take on the Washington Huskies on September 1st.

I wonder who will win the game. Hmmmmm….let me think, the Huskies defeated the Knights last season with a score of 48-13. Hmmm, who will win? Who will win? Welp, I’m no fortune teller. But losing probably doesn’t feel so bad when you’re maxing out in a jacuzzi…

“Inside the stadium, students will have the chance to view the game from the best seats in the house – a pool or Jacuzzi atop the student section,” Rutgers said in a statement regarding their special festivities. “There will be boats in the north end zone with all fans given the opportunity to win a seat and watch the game from field level.”

Imagine all the drunk students soaking it up in a tub or pool, acting dumb as f*ck, but hey, it’s college! Unfortunately, the jacuzzi or pool will only be a temporary fixture for the Washington game. So party it up while you still can, kids!

Then there are some people who sound more excited about this news than the students…

“We are excited to kick off the start of college football in a big way,” said Rick Thorpe, Senior Associate AD for External Affairs and Strategic Communications. “From hosting a showdown with a top-10, Pac-12 power in front of a nationally-televised audience, coupled with enjoying all of the shore-themed promotions that we have planned for the entire gameday, and you have a fantastic way to start off the long holiday weekend. Everyone from across the entire state is invited to come out to enjoy the action and cheer on your Scarlet Knights.”

We can only guess what type of crazy sh*t will go down in the jacuzzi…

Chester County District Attorney’s Office

Melissa Bonkoski, a 38-year-old Pennslyvania high school teacher, has been arrested on sexual assault charges after she allegedly had a sexual relationship with one of her male students.

Bonkoski, 38, who taught earth science at Owen J. Roberts High School in at Pottstown, Pennsylvania since 2015, was arrested Thursday, August 17, and charged with eight felonies. Bonkoski, who was reportedly “obsessed” with the male student, was charged with three counts of institutional sexual assault, three counts of unlawful contact with a minor, one count of corruption of minors and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.

According to the court records, Bonkoski’s relationship with the unnamed victim began back on December 1, 2015. The 16-year-old victim, who remains unidentified, reportedly had Bonkoski as a teacher during his freshman year at Owen J. Roberts High School.

The complaint states that the teacher and the student had kiss and that the teacher allowed him to touch her breasts. Furthermore, the student also stayed the night at her house, sleeping in the same bed as her, and they discussed having oral sex.

via Daily Times:

According to the criminal complaint against Bonkoski, 38, of Stowe, the teacher had allowed the student to touch her breasts, and kissed him multiple times in her car. She also spoke with him about oral sex, although they never reached that level of intimacy, and let him sleep over at her house, in her bed. The student, who was a student in Bonkoski’s class his freshman year, was not named in the complaint.

The school district learned of the criminal charges Friday, according to an announcement emailed to the community from Acting Superintendent Anthony Costello.

“The school district has fully cooperated with the investigations conducted by those agencies regarding the allegations, and will continue to do so throughout the criminal prosecution of this matter,” Costello wrote.

Bonkoski was asked to resign her position at Owen J. Roberts High School, and complied. “Upon learning of the filing of these charges, the school district asked for, and received, Bonkoski’s immediate resignation from her employment as a teacher,” Costello wrote.

Bonkoski released on $80,000 unsecured bail, pending a scheduled August 17 preliminary hearing in South Coventry district court.

The case is currently under investigation and anyone with information about this incident is being asked to contact the county detectives at 610-344-6866.
