That and they already pay, courtesy of the University President, 20% of their tuition for full-rides to other students.
I had no idea until “the One” came to the university and instead of an honorary Doc, they named the “full-rides” the Obama scholarship. Two of my kids go there and that was the first time I heard that 20% of their, tuition that they pay, go to pay for other students.
Seems to me that is unfair to the other 80% and the University ought to make it “optional” or work with private business.
That is outrageous, but completely in step with the bailout mentality.
