A Massachusetts college is responding to Trumps executive order on immigration by offering a refugee a full scholarship to study at the institution. The scholarship will give preference to refugees seeking entrance to the United States from one of the seven Muslim-majority countries under the executive orders immigration ban, the Hill reported.
Wheaton College President Dennis Hanno spoke out against Trumps immigration ban in a statement announcing the scholarship.

They are free to do what they want with PRIVATE scholarship funds.
Looks like that was “one of your honest mistakes”.
A Massachusetts college...
Who what when where....
Who is not "a Massachusetts college." It is Wheaton College, [which happens to be] in Massachusetts. AAARRGGHH. Reports can't do anything anymore. Not the simplest of tasks.
I’d be real unamused if I knew of a student who’d been accepted to Wheaton and was expected to get student loans to pay their way.
De\port the criminal student immediately. They can take their lousy courses from this lousy college by correspondence.

Hint: Did you actually look at the story linked? The one where it refers to the Wheaton College that's in Massachusetts in the first sentence? I'm guessing not. Nice to hear about your grandfather, but did you know there was a Wheaton College in Mass.? And yet you're snarking on a newbie?
Should I ask if that was an honest mistake?
Please back off the snark and take a breath to check your facts before you lower the atmosphere with that kind of talk.
It's called clickbait. If they give the story away in the headline, then you wont go to the webpage, and they cant sell more snake oil, virus infected ads, which are also, click-bait.
wouldn’t be the first university to do that - Duke University already has. in fact they gave preferential treatment to them to get in over others in their early decision process already last fall.
Preference?? Time to cut off funding.....bot to theollege and to those agencies sponsoring these folks...who are usually getting Federal funds.
Ah, the class of “aught 5”. A great year. Same as the Music Man (sort of). ;o)
Wheaton is not in Massachusetts.
Nothing new. High school parents already know that finding a scholarship of their smart middle class white conservative Christian kid is next to impossible what with so many earmarked for illegals and foreigners.
Remind me again why the Kenyan won’t release his college records.
If he is a good Muslim that follows everything the koran tells him and he murders dopes like these people they will cry to Trump for help.
Does Sec 505 of the IIRIRA prohibit this? If so, how about enforcing it.
The “America Last” crowd.
That's it? No other (ahem!) "vetting"?
How about the full tuition students? Colleges love to redistribute other people’s money.
If Wheaton is completely private, then it is up to paying students and alumni to complain. If it is state-supported they should have to address concerns of the taxpayers.
