Thousands of colleges across the country are being infused with billions of dollars in cash after they were forced to close their campuses and move classes online amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund is part of the $2 trillion CARES Act that was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump. The fund contains a total of about $14.2 billion for both private and public colleges and universities across the U.S.
In a letter to college presidents dated April 9, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos wrote that "the most significant portion of that funding allocation provides that $12.56 billion will be distributed to institutions using a formula based on student enrollment," adding that at least 50 percent of the money to each institution "must be reserved to provide students with emergency financial aid grants to help cover expenses related to the disruption of campus operations due to coronavirus."
The most money any university is receiving is about $63.5 million while $291 was the least amount received by any academic institution.

More money to allow colleges to keep price gauging tuitions high and inflation. It also gives free money for brats to speak up with our money while they will tie further up the tax payer’s mouth from being able to be represented
Kind of like the brat teen who talks back or lectures the parents but is not the one financing the food on the table allowing him or her to open their mouth at their parents.
I cannot stand this privilege the young at all costs privileged entitled education system
Isn’t Arizona State a party school? Do they even have classes?
How strange. They are all liberal.
No they're not. Check out my link to Tennessee institutions receiving funds. Some in there are VERY conservative.
That’s because the Conservative colleges and universities make a point of not taking a dime from the feds. With fed money comes fed control.
Eric Bolling said in the book Wake Up America:
I’m not going to pay thousands of dollars a semester to have my daughter listen to a beatnik professor sitting on a stool in front of a class teaching the students to hate America.
Not on my dime.

No rhyme or reason, just typical sausage making in Congress.
And the piggies at the through rejoice, it’s been filled to the brim for them.
Yes, this is crazy. College is a joke now.
Not one f-ing college should be bailed out! They can suck on their endowments,slash their asinine salaries and perks and ride this out like the “little” people.
I feel like I’ve been robbed.
Yes and yes. I’m getting my second degree from ASU online. No parties for me.
Smart political move would be for Trump to bail out ONLY the HBCUs like Grambling and Alabama A&M.
Then sit back and wait for the others to reveal how RAAAAAAAAACIST they really are.
All of those institutions have endowments.
Why are they receiving federal taxpayers’ money?
