What features of your college education would you be willing to do without to make college more affordable?
Respond to the following prompt in a post with a minimum of 150 words.
In this module we learned that, despite increases in the cost, the value of higher education has increased over time. How can college be made more affordable? Revenues earned by colleges and universities come from three main sources:
Tuition and fees paid by students, which have increased faster than the cost of living.
Support from governments at the federal, state and local levels. This support is paid for through tax revenues. Even private colleges and universities obtain funding from the government, but government support has declined at all levels in recent years.
Alumni contributions.
What has caused the cost of college to increase so much? (Not every college has a fancy gym or an Olympic sized pool with a lazy river.) What features of your college education would you be willing to do without to make college more affordable?
What do you propose should be done to make higher education more affordable? What reasons can you provide to support your argument?

With voluntary and involuntary clients, why is it important that these clients understand the impact of their current level of functioning and to be educated towards the benefits towards change?
Voluntary and Involuntary Client Resources
Clients that receive services from Human Services Professionals are quite diverse. Some are voluntary clients, meaning, they actively seek out services and are oftentimes invested in achieving better life circumstances. Involuntary clients, on the other hand, are not as receptive to receiving assistance from Human Services Professionals. Involuntary clients are forced to receive services and are, in many instances, challenging clients. Think of the characteristics of voluntary clients (those wanting help) and involuntary clients (those who present challenges towards receiving needed services). In a three-page double-spaced paper, answer the following questions:
With voluntary and involuntary clients, why is it important that these clients understand the impact of their current level of functioning and to be educated towards the benefits towards change?
What are the short-term and long-term benefits of clients understanding resources that can assist them?
What are the challenges of assisting clients with accessing resources and services? How can a Human Services Professional address these challenges?
