My son was denied an academic scholarship solely on the basis of his skin color. The administrator actually had the gall to tell my son he would have qualified had he been a minority. We ended up paying every last dime of his tuition. That, in itself, is fine with me. What really chapped my hide was the fact that I had to pay much higher tuition rates for my son because government was propping them up. It’s sort of a double whammy. #1 You don’t qualify for government help because you’ve saved $ and you’re the wrong skin color, and #2 you get to pay more because of all other folks who are getting a free ride.
RE: The administrator actually had the gall to tell my son he would have qualified had he been a minority.
Correction — he has to be a CERTAIN type of minority. Asians need not apply ( even when they are an ethnic minority even more minor than Blacks and Hispanics).
“Its sort of a double whammy. #1 You dont qualify for government help because youve saved $ and youre the wrong skin color, and #2 you get to pay more because of all other folks who are getting a free ride.”
It is incredible that this is legal. Whenever my alma mater (a state school here in NJ) calls with their palm outstretched I tell them to take it from the minority students they schooled for free; I already gave my “donation”.
