Over 200 Colleges Have Slashed Work Hours Due to Obamacare
I would really love to know how many students being affected by this voted for Obama.

More than 200 colleges slash work hours to avoid Obamacare employer mandate
Since the launch of Obamacare, more than 200 colleges and universities across the nation have cut student and faculty work hours to skirt the federal law’s mandate requiring employers to provide health insurance for people who work 30 hours or more per week.
At last count: 207 campuses.
Those who have seen their paychecks shrink as a result of the Affordable Care Act include students who work on campus at restaurants, bookstores or gyms, teaching assistants, Residence Advisers, officer workers, student journalists, and a variety of other workers, such as part-time maintenance crews and groundskeepers. Educators’ work hours have also been cut due to the mandate, including part-time instructors and adjunct professors.
The College Fix – which first posted a list of campuses negatively impacted by Obamacare last month – will continue to add to this tally each time we learn of a new campus affected by the federal law, an expected turn of events when the employer mandate kicks in. Please alert The College Fix of campuses forced to cut hours because of Obamacare. Please also see our corresponding article detailing the ramifications of these cuts.
Note this is a conservative estimate – not comprehensive list – of campuses that have cut employees’ work opportunities as a result of the Affordable Care Act.

Well, well…. nothing like the epicenters of the “elite” thought having to suffer the consequences of what they though was best for all of us. Got to love it! See, gov is NOT the answer. The free market is. Layers of repeated gov intervention got us to where we are and that gov was oh ever so happy to gain even more control over the health care sector. When gov gets involved, there will be less liberty, fewer choices and a whole lot of tyranny. Next time don’t be so naive.
I wish they would suffer for their actions, but it will be the students and adjunct faculty who have no real standing in the academy who will suffer. Progressive administrators and faculty could care less about peons in the elite environment.
