Good.
I wish they all were.
Back in my day, longer ago than I care to admit, almost all of the financial aid went to affirmative action students, not to mention the benefit of the doubt where admission to the best schools and programs were concerned. Indeed, on two occasions when I applied for financial aid programs that would have made things easier for me I was told my grades were too high, I spoke English to well, and my skin far too white. Also, my parents were disinclined to assist me as I had a lot of younger siblings but they were considered to have adequate income so I was ineligible for what financial aid there might have been for me. Fortunately, I had an academic scholarship which did cover most of my tuition and I took out some loans but I often went hungry; it was really rough. College was pretty much of a grind for me, although I do have some great memories. I suspect it is even worse for kids today with all of the illegals soaking up even more of limited resources. If these students are the “privileged” whites, than this article is teIling the truth, I think. I suspect these kids are carrying tough majors (as I was) then trying to work full time or near full time is impossible, as attending classes, study, required reading,of reserved books, etc, not to mention 15-30 hours in labs. What were you hard-hearted people, journalism, education, or socialogy majors?
