    Ok so it’s fine to just steal from people who have more?

    And what if people in that group’s parents don’t want to pay their tuition for them? They’re not necessarily wealthy because their parents are.

        I think that their stance is that education should be free for everyone regardless of income.

          Basically this. Selective pricing is shitty, and kids who come from rich parents that don’t want to help out get screwed.

          Also if you can afford this, why the hell is your tuition so high and why can’t you least make it chairs for everyone?

            I was disqualified from federal student aid because of parental income, and had to provide court paperwork proving that I was a “non-traditional student” because I was removed from my home due to child abuse. Regardless, I think this is a move in the right direction.
