#1 Little more than guilt therapy for the while privileged classes. Much, much more is needed. Culturally adjusted grading schemes, free books and lab fees, meals, lodging, laundry, day-care, pocket money, clothing allowance, priority employment placement, Affirmative promotion and advancement, tax exemption (April 15th is rapidly approaching) and much more. Real action required. Time is of the essence.

#2 I wonder if any realize that this will increase their tuition fees?

#3 When the tuition fees are loaned from the gov't, and later the debt forgiven, the cost no longer matters. The increases are spread across the entire society, a shared burden.

#4 Virtue signalling with other people's money. Except isn't U of W a state school, in a state with a very hard-nosed accountant as governor? Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Governor Scott Walker's next triumph -- this should be fun!

#5 Just mail out free diplomas. Way cheaper. They'd be worth every penny, too.

#6 So all you need to do is self-identify as black.

#7 Since there's apparently so many white libs free with someone else's money, why doesn't the school assign a "foster black" to each one and they can pay for their room, board, tuition, remedial tutoring (no SAT req'ts mean anyone gets in).... that cool ride, protest gear, etc.

#9 It seems to me the NAACP could better use their money if they offered little amounts to guilty liberal white kids to come out and virtue signal in this way.

#10 Major: Identity Studies
Minor: Ebonics

Good luck in the real world.

#11 BU5562, my general rule of thumb is that any major that has the word "studies" in it is worse than useless.

#12 I'm not sure why this particular emission from the ASM is getting more attention than their usual nonsense. The turnout for elections was about 11% last year--not that many students seem to care about their representatives.
