If I was going to be a debt free graduate of that college before he announced that, I would be super pissed

I bet the kid that worked 20 hours a week to pay for his own education feels like an idiot now.

Okay. He could do worse things with his money.

Very generous thing to do

Very nice of him.
Unfortunately, I think now every college kid will think that there is a “chance” that it will happen to them as well.

No shite
I never took out student loans when I was in school. I'd be pissed if I found out that I could have been partying on this dude's dime the whole time

It would suck if you worked your arse off and graduated a semester early and got stuck with your bills.

Seen stories interviewing several kids and they’ve all got between $70,000 and $ 90,000 in debt.. for an undergrad degree... seems way too excessive and unnecessary.
Would’ve like to have seen what degrees they actually obtained

Morehouse tuition is about 30K a year without other fees and boarding.
That’s one hell of a part-time job if their tuition, room, and board is covered with it.

I will agree that this is a political statement more than anything. Student loan debt is a big issue for the educated millennial class

Fackkk Me. We had some local yokel from Bank One(Chase) give our commencement in 99. Took 16 yrs to pay my shite off.
