Well, Arizona has done it again. This time they have passed a bill that requires all students with the exception of athletes to pay at least $2,000 in tuition. Even if they are awarded scholarships or financial aid, they will be required to pay this amount. Athletes are exempt (I guess this is to be considered as payment for bringing in money to the school).
As we discussed today and in previous classes, low-income students are being left out of higher ed institutions. I suppose republicans see this as a part of life too.
