| #8 Anonymoose, what's worse is that many colleges and universities hold their operating funds in a vehicle housed with Wachovia bank.  Last week Wachovia allowed only limited withdrawls to colleges and universities while they are negotiating their buyout with Wells Fargo.  A lot of school janitors, cooks and faculty going without paychecks if it doesn't get resolved quickly. The bailout/buyout stinks.  But the credit crunch is real. |

| #6 Just heard on local radio: Students already attending classes at Arizona State University, with approved student loans, have had their accounts frozen. Either the creditors have gone bust, or are refusing to release the funds. The only school that has calculated the number of students affected is the law school, with about 50% of its students running on vapor. The university is continuing classes for now, but will be busted pretty quick without that money being released. |
