NYU President Calls Reagan Plan a War on Middle Class
NYU President John Brademas denounces Reagan's proposed $2 billion cut in student aid as a declaration of war on middle-income Americans. He urges college leaders to mobilize in a Washington battle, warning that the plan would slash federal loans grants and work-study for over 1 million recipients and hit private colleges hard. Brademas notes the administration deserves credit for raising awareness but faults its rhetoric and policy for harming higher education.

Ghetto System Used in Federal Housing Projects
Dallas Morning News reports that nearly 10 million people in federally subsidized housing face racial segregation, with white-dominated projects far better in condition and services than those housing blacks and Hispanics. The investigation cites HUD’s role, local authorities, and suburban refusals to accept subsidies as key to maintaining ghettos, despite fair housing laws.
