My father attended CUNY in the early 30’s, when it was a good institution. Recent “admit anyone” policies have taken their tolls. About the only thing good one can say about this, is that the favored illegal alien students can only bring up the level of the student body.
Does anyone even think these illegals PAID any tuition? If anything, they got interest free student loans that will never be repaid. And now on top of that they will get some $4000 cash back.
Life is good. IF you’re an illegal resident.
I think this will open up a can of worms. All I have to do is present myself as Juan from Peru...illegally here....and get the in-state deal. Four years later, I leave and return to Mississippi....knowing I screwed over these stupid folks, and saved myself over $60,000 in costs. The only downfall is that I’ll have to accept the Juan name for the rest of my professional life.
This is theft. The foreign thieves should be thrown out... after first serving a prison term to pay off the debt incurred by stealing educational services.
And let’s not forget the politicians. They belong in prison.
The university should also reimburse the American out of state students who are registered to vote in New York. They live in New York long enough to be eligible to vote, the state has recognized them as New Yorkers. They really should be considered in-state students.
I am waiting for an enterprising student or students who file a class action lawsuit saying they arent being treated equally because they are out of state students.
since in-state rates are given due to families living in-state, and they’re now giving the breaks to illegals...
will they also give refunds to kids from other states that paid the higher amount?
