So financial aid / scholarships are not only fickle, but also funded by things that hurt the communities that such scholarships would help out most.
Emory still has a lot of other issues, just because of being in the South.
- GA-defender 6y agoAnybody in GA can take their children to pre-K for free. Any young person in GA can work hard and go to top schools for free. I think that’s a pretty awesome deal for disadvantaged communities. Especially compared to every other state that has legal lotteries and eye watering tuition. Sure, I’d rather lotteries were illegal again. But I’d keep the HOPE baby as I dump the bath water. It’s a model for other states!
