Modern indentured servitude, eh?
My old company used to sponsor H1-Bs for green cards. Yep, you guessed it, you had to keep working there for two years after you got your green card, or you had to pay back enormous legal fees.
When my buddy finished his two years on March 17, we told him his green card was no good without a green hat to go with it!
Sounds like slavery to me.
What if they take welfare in another state? Cheaper for NY than if they stayed and took it there.
But there will be fewer jobs for these grads because NY taxes, already sky high, will have to be raised even more, driving business out of state.
I'm trying to understand the "free" part here.
Indirectly, its an admission that the government in New York knows they aren't offering incentives to stay in the state.
Just wait til they get older and find out that knee won't be replaced!
How do they verify you are still in NY? Report to a probation officer?
Slave plantations, indian reservations, urban ghetto, and now the state college, are all Democrat scams.
Genius though, NY must now keep all elite liberals, and NeverNewYork can have liberty.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Somehow the editor wrote the wrong headline... It should be:
Republicans and Democrats hock taxpayer homes to give open budgets to state colleges and universities.
The college budgets will BLOOM under this ‘plan’ and taxpayers will be paying three to four times as much as they anticipate they’ll be paying as all the faculty and staff come racing to get their piece of everyone’s property.
Here’s a string I would love to have seen... If you want the taxpayer paid degree, it must be for an actual degree - no liberal arts majors need apply. Least we’d have a shot at getting educated students who at least have a chance of becoming taxpayers.
Besides, Starbucks already said they’re going to be hiring immigrants anyway.
So is the state going to sue for tuition reimbursement if a student leaves NY? Would a student who took advantage of the free tuition and moved to CA be sued in CA.
A smarter move: after graduating from a college in NY, the state will reimburse your tuition if you majored in a STEM program. If you majored in a studies program, no tuition reimbursement for you. I see Como’s program churning out more people with .... studies degrees.
The Community college is practically free with NYS Grants.
Kids might even consider A JOB....like my kids.
Pay back? That's racist. They will raise a fit of being offended and their debt will be forgiven. Just watch.
I think the kid raised a good point about New York being a better bet for some industries and not others. Seems to me a good strategy might be for the student to put aside the money he expected to pay in NYS tuition, or even invest it. If he decides to leave, he's had use of the money and perhaps made some with it. If he wants to stay, he's started a nest egg (which he'll need at New York prices and taxes).
This is the kind of benefit I'll accept, but cheerfully vote against if I get the chance.
Someone’s going to pay...
I see a new business opportunity here.
For a small fee, you can be “employed” in the state of New York for student loan purposes only. The fee may depend on the minimum number of hours per week you must work and if it is allowed to have your wages at 100% commission.
I assume thee are no residency requirements. It would be insane to require you to both live and work in New York.
