Welfare reform may hurt students
By Angela Jones
Staff Reporter
President Clinton’s new welfare
reform program could force students
to dropout of school, said Matt Schulz,
student regent from the University of
Nebraska-Omaha.
The President’s new program
would put a two-year limitation on all
welfare benefits. At the end of that two
years, if the recipient cannot find a
job, the state will help them find a job.
If that fails, then the individual will
again receive benefits.
The two-year limitation is where
students could beaffected, Schulz said.
“For students receiving welfare
benefits and working their way through
school, after two years they will lose
their benefits,” Schulz said. “For many
students this will mean they can no
longer afford to stay in school.”
This form of limitations is espe
cially hard on non-traditional students,
Schulz said. He has spoken with ad
ministrators at Chadron State, which
has a high percentage of non-tradi
tional students, and they are very con
cerned about the future of these stu
dents. They told Schulz they would
probably lobby the Legislature when
the amendment came up. Schulz said
he was also concerned, and hoped to
do the same at UNO.
Schulz believes welfare benefits
should be extended four to five years
for college students. The students
would be required to meet certain
guidelines such as maintaining a spe
cific grade point average, and having
to keep their classes focused on their
field of study, he said.
Welfare reform has been long
awaited, Schulz said. He said that it is
something that needs to be dealt with,
but the committees need to look at the
long-term measures, instead of imme
diately just cutting people off.
“The long-term plan will help so
that people can stay off welfare in the
future,” Schulz said, “and the best way
to do that is to get a college degree.”
