    I can’t tell if you’re serious or farming downvotes. Leaning towards downvote farming since you’re so far off from reality. Over 1/4th of college students are parents. Close to that many skip meals because they can’t afford it.

    If you, somehow, are serious, you need a reality check.

      “I’m too poor to not give money to a regressive university”

      Bama has over 40k students enrolled and less than 200 bothered to even protest this shitbag giving a commencement speech. There wasn’t even a movement to skip attending the event at all.

      I know college students at minor schools, I know people who work in admissions at major universities, I know grad students who are single parents. I know people who handle scholarships and grant funding.

      Yeah college is an expensive bureaucracy and not having money makes it harder. But trust me when I say that anyone scraping by at a flagship university has a way out. This isn’t cold hearted bootstraps, the university system is probably the most supportive career institution in America (if you’re a student).

      There are a plethora of ways to show you give a shit and resources to help you do it. The people still at Bama don’t give a shit.
