In Response to "Mother admits to klling child"

In an article written by "Texas Fight!" the author discusses the issue of child abuse. In the article they go through a case study of a recent child abuse victim. A mother beat her 2 year old daughter to death and admitted to doing it.
This is obviously an awful case to have to deal with but I'm not sure what the author's point is. They argue that the death penalty should be used against this savage mother. I believe the death penalty should never be used because sometimes there are mistakes in our justice system and the death penalty is provably more expensive than life in prison. This article is a little disorganized but combs through a rather savage case promoting the death penalty rather effectively.

Texas Tech put on Probation

Texas Tech University was put on probation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for failing to show “that its curriculum did not meet college level competencies.” Texas Tech officials claim that it was put on probation simply because it did not get the results together in time for the association’s meeting. The article also points out that TTU is still accredited by more than 25 associations and organizations. The significance of the probation is that TTU may be subject to less federal grant money.

This seems like a minor thorn in the side of Texas Tech. By all other accounts they are a great university and a fine place to go to school, and before reading this article I have never heard of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. How ever much influence they have they seem to be minor and Texas Tech should be in compliance in no time.

This may impact the enrollment of future students depending on how seriously students look at this organization, but in the long run I believe TTU will be fine.
