Colleges creating summer jobs for students in tight times
July 7, 2009
St. John's University in Minnesota created 80 full-time student jobs, most of them involving physical labor such as clearing trails or painting dorm rooms. The College of Wooster in Ohio has hired more than 200 students - almost triple the number it usually employs in summer - to do chores such as planting vegetables and washing windows. Officials at both colleges say the similarities are coincidental. But their motives are the same: to keep students from dropping out or transferring to a less expensive school.
