Western Kentucky University’s student government wants their school to pay ‘reparations’ to black students.


quote:

The Student Government Association at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky, said the measure is a recommendation to pay those students reparations for slavery, even though the U.S. abolished slavery more than 150 years ago. The resolution sends a message to university faculty and administrators that slavery is “a debt that will never be paid,” according to Campus Reform.


quote:

The resolution, which passed 19-10, also called for a special task force to research ways to make it easier for black students to apply and get accepted into the college.

Um . . .
quote:

The student government at a Kentucky university voted Tuesday night to recommend that the school make tuition “free” for all black students.

I bet the student government votes to recommend plenty of things; I doubt this one will be accepted by the administration.

They essentially want the school to not bring in close to 9 million per semester (8.89 million) and they think that the school won't suffer big cutbacks?

While they are making reparations they should give the University's land back to the Native Americans.

It is easy to give things away if you don't have to accept financial responsibility for the decision. If I were the president of the university I'd accept thier resolution and announce that the forgiven tuition would be equally divided among all tuition paying students. Someone has to make up for the lost revenue in order to keep the university open.
