It's severely affecting Kettering University, which used to be GMI (General Motors Institute). Their whole school system is set up to go to school for 12 weeks, work an internship for 12 weeks, etc, year 'round. GM has pulled out, allowing only seniors to finish their rounds of internships, so many many kids are searching for internships. They have to do so many semesters of internships before they can graduate. Most of the kids their pay at least half their tuition with the money they make during their internships too.
Everybody around here is just anxiously awaiting this June 1st deadline. Word on the news last night is that Pontiac, Saab, Hummer, GMC, and Saturn are going to be gone completely leaving only the Chevy, Buick and Cadillac lines. Personally? I only like Pontiacs and Saturns so I doubt I'll be buying GM again. I really love my Saturn and GM is talking about progress toward selling it off. I'll be really curious to find out who buys it.
