Does this mean we can get a TopGolf now?

It's probably time to review the program and consider raising standards or capping benefits....but I'm glad to see that it's not so easy to completely kill.

TOPS isn't a religious text. it can be modified to save money
but that kind of rational, stoic analysis isn't valued when there is a crisis to take advantage of

The refund is retarded. You'd spend more in administrative handling fees and collections than you would biting the bullet on the tuition.
Not to mention, the state comes out ahead considering they only had to pay one year tuition instead of 4.

I think TOPS does need work to it. I believe one thing should be if you get TOPS and don't graduate you should have to pay it back. I know a lot of kids that used it for one year and failed. This would be an incentive to 1/ Think about it before you apply, 2/ Use it properly (LSU or Technical College?) 3/ State would at least get reimbursed what it is out.

I guarantee that any cuts to TOPS will be based on the student's family income/race, not student performance.

It's just being restarted for this semester.
What happens after is in the legislature's hands.

Hooray. Now the very people here who loudly proclaim they are against government handouts, can still have their kids' college education subsidized by the government.

At least there's some merit in these "hand outs".

At least the recipients worked for the "handout."
