Harvard Law activists demand free tuition as a matter of racial justice

A group of Harvard Law School activists are demanding the graduate school do away with tuition fees, which they argue are “racially biased.”

Members of the group Reclaim Harvard Law School published an open letter Sunday addressed to Law School Dean Martha L. Minow and members of the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — demanding an end to tuition costs that they argue impose an unfair financial burden on students of color, The Harvard Crimson reported.

Tuition at the law school will rise to $59,550 for the 2016-2017 academic year, and students are graduating with an average of $149,754 in debt, according to the law school’s website. Reclaim Harvard Law called the trend “outrageous” and asserted, “as a matter of justice, education should be free.”

In order to be successful in the 21st century I think they might do better attending Freeper Law School ;) The “Dean” Jim Robinson has a good collection of volunteer “professors” who would give these students plenty of knowledge about how the law ought to work and they’ll come out 3 years later without huge piles of debt :)

It does make sense though to see a liberal school like Harvard doing two things - (a) produce a bunch of “Free Sandwich Army” whiners who think the world owes them a living, (b) saddle them up with piles of debt so they are forever the slaves of the State. Now there are some good things in these liberal schools. But when it comes to math, especially the law of exponents, they appear to have some loose screws in their heads.

What you sow so shall you reap

Harvard has been Leftist all these years so it has come back to them.

The time to burn Harvard Law to the ground has long since passed.

This is why I didn’t vote for Cruz yesterday. His attendance there, IMHO, utterly disqualifies him. It is the graduates of this institution who have created the mess we now find ourselves, and I don;t believe that electing another one of their graduates is likely to fix it anytime soon.

They’re expensive and made by white folk.

Schools and parents that don’t teach their kids about capitalism, hard work, personal responsibility = our current culture.

These kids need a reality check on life.

TO #8. “because I’m white, straight and conservative”.

You have my condolences

Trying using “Man-Tan, wear a dress and say you support Angela Davis”.

You’ll get free tuition, room and board, books, a “safe space”, anti-microaggression shields, free Birkenstock shoes, and an autographed picture of Davis from when she slipped by an accessory to murder conviction re the killing of a California judge by the brother of her lover, another convicted killer.

I don't mean to be dense, but if Harvard wants to grant free tuition, can't they just do it? Just waive all financial requirements of their students? Why does the federal gov't need to be involved at all? You want to give 'em free tuition? So, give it to them. What is the issue?

oh, not "free". They want someone else to pay them....

You mean like when I put my nephew against the wall by his neck when he started getting out of hand after his father died?

he’s doing very well now years later in a startup contracting business in NC.

He moved there and I told him if he voted dem and ruined NC like NJ is, I’ll drive down and take his car apart on the lawn for when he wakes up.

Why doesn’t Hahvid just kick their asses out? America is already overrun by shyster “lawyers”. We don’t need any more.

I want a free pony. Oh and I don’t want to have to pay for food and vet bills either. It is my right to have a pony.
