To the editor:
Here we go again, blocking positive progress …
We need a public, state, four-year university in Steubenville, not another community college or junior college.
Our high school graduates deserve an opportunity to earn a certificate, associate degree, bachelor, master or doctoral degree right here. This should not be a two-year college, requiring students to go elsewhere to complete a four-year degree. Our young men and women are just as good as students elsewhere. They deserve to have the same opportunities as students in all other four-year universities across our nation.
Appalachia is a geographical region, not a type of less intelligent, less capable people. Shame on all who think this way and express these views.
Having a second four-year campus of Youngstown State University will help encourage future generations to learn here, live here, work here and raise a family here.
Those of you who just don't care about our university, that's your right. But, you can appreciate and benefit knowing your real estate (your house) will increase in value.
The past is full of good memories, but we can't stay there.
For the sake of our children, grandchildren and beyond, we must talk about the memories but, focus on the future.
