i was initially put off by alchemist in basel because the glassware was not properly assembled, but i found out i could order absinthe feuerzangenbowle-style. and that you get forceps and a mortar/pestle at table… also the food was excellent. shared pak choi, spätzli, lamb shank, and pork belly.

wording makes it sound like this could affect grad students also, but i didn’t read the bill text…
There are 100k students in med school each year. Room and board is about 100k per year. For 10b a year, med school could be free. We would see a wholesale change in the profession, career paths and the cost of care.
It would change the economics for every financial decision doctors

Republican plans to cap student borrowing could shatter an everyday profession
One GOP senator said anyone paying more than $100K to go to med school is "making a huge mistake." But the median cost of attending one is more than double that for the class of 2025.

this guy clearly has no idea what an R1 institution is… or just doesn’t care:
“One of the things that we wanted was a guarantee that you would have every professor teaching at least 12 credits, so 12 hours in the classroom for a full-time job, and they just couldn't get there."

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says its "a lie" that Republicans were unwilling to invest in Gov. Evers' top budget priorities. Budget negotiations broke down last week after the impasse, with Evers saying the GOP refused "meaningful investments" in his priorities of childcare, K12 education and the UW.
