The student government at Western Kentucky University on Tuesday voted in favor of giving free tuition to black students.
The school’s Student Government Association passed a resolution by 19-10 supporting slavery reparations for black students in the form of free tuition and free access to the public Bowling Green campus.
The resolution also recommends that the university create a task force to “assess the feasibility of test-optional admissions and geographically-weighted admissions,” claiming that some standardized testing poses a disadvantage for needy students and perpetuates inequality and “white supremacy,” The Bowling Green Daily News reported.

Educational welfare? This won’t end well.
The whole corrupt college system needs to collapse. This is a good step in that direction.
Reparations for something that happen 150 some years ago? Talk about idiotic.
Free tuition? Why limit it to just black students? Sounds racist. Let's allow ALL students to have free tuition. Why not? It's the American Way.
Just one restriction: none of my money, either directly or through taxes, can be used in this endeavor.
Perfect liberals...spending OPM without even asking...
How about the school adopt a program where a white student volunteer their tuition for a black student...
Let’s see how their parents feel about it...
Or better yet take out student loans in their name to send black students to go to school...
I wonder how many black students are either laughing or offended by this moronic idea...
Reparations??? For what? They weren’t forced to pick cotton.
Does this mean I can vote myself a free steak at Outback Steakhouse?
Come on kids!
Let’s vote for the administration and faculty to work for free, too!
See how popular that one is with the old skinflints.
This "White supremacy" mania is going to be the final death-knell for Blacks in America. They will have literally no future as productive members of the world if they embrace this Marxist construct. And many Whites will drag themselves down with the Blacks they delusionally believe they are protecting.

50% off?
The students who voted for this should assume personally the debt those black students would have had without the ‘free’ tuition. In the meanwhile they are making their degrees from this college virtually worthless if, in fact, they were ever worth much.
There are 106 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in the United States, including public and private institutions, community and four-year institutions, medical and law schools.

These affirmative action colleges are already mostly free to black students. Why don’t these white students at WKU transfer to one of these negro colleges?
I hope the Alumni are noting this moronic behavior on the part of the faculty and staff, and adjusting their donations appropriately.
This won’t cut the mustard at WKU.
“I hope the Alumni are noting this moronic behavior on the part of the faculty and staff, and adjusting their donations appropriately.”
You can be damn sure we are.
Hey, what about 70 year old Aleuts? (not that this one would go there anyway)
So long as these same students are paying for it, I see no problem with this.
Now if they want someone else to pay for this, the need to be punched in the face and beaten down until they get the message that they shouldn't try to steal other people's money.
Your money is yours. My money is mine. Spend yours as you like, but I will beat you if you try to take mine.
Notify me when they elect to pay for said education
