Donors are free to cut their contributions to entities that use their funds for causes they don't approve and if the government is funding Emory or any other entity that is providing aid to illegals then it should have the right to withhold such funding assuming it is legal to do so.

Government money comes from taxpayers. Pell grants cost us in the billions.

What comes of that money for kids who don't graduate?

It's lost forever.

Look at college graduation rates for students in the U. S. It's the gap all the way. Throwing money at undocumented students doesn't guarantee success. If it did, our local school systems would be thriving, and we would have closed the gap years ago.

stupid, stupid, stupid move

But my kids aren't going to Emory. So what do I care?

dreamers can't get pell grants. So take that off your list of concerns.

OP here. No one is saying otherwise. That doesn't make it morally right

Isn't Emory University free to do what it wants with its money?

Yes, but folks should understand that, if they pay full freight, a portion of that money is going for stuff like this, I would guess. Your money. That's easy for rich people, like most of those here, to ignore.

Nice.

Perfect.

International students who are already admitted and have expired visas do not qualify. There are also institutional loans and some US citizens might have those-so yes Emory $ not to be repaid will go to illegals and I assume some US citizens will have loans. http://www.studentaid.emory.edu/DACA/index.html

Here's another one where students pay more to set up funds for illegals. OOps should have said parents pay more...

Emory is over 50k annually.

I am OP. My daughter is a rising junior at Emory. They will see a dime of support funding. My husband is liberal and he is paying her tuition When she graduates and alumni contact me, I will cite this policy and donate to Liberty or Hillsdale. I won't do it prior to graduation because liberals there will make her pay the price in some way.

PP. That's the point I was trying to make, also.

There's a similar thread running about a college offering a class that teaches students "resistance strategies" against President Trump, and the same applies there. When you take a political stand on a controversial issue, there will be fallout. Liberals are yelling "1st amendment rights," but I don't see anybody saying it's illegal to take divisive action and make divisive statements - it's just stupid. And potentially costly.

If you think outside parties -- or heaven forbid, the US government -- should be able to tell Emory how to spend its private funds, you should be aware of what you are advocating.

It's fine to be critical. Sure, whatever. But understand this is not your money, or the US government's money, and that you should be okay with accepting the same level of criticism yourself.

Schools that receive federal funding don't have the vast freedom you think they do. Signed, a smart person.

Okay, my friend. Care to cite number and verse?

Because citing sources is what the smart folks do, you know.

I never understood how any of these daca dreamers and undocumented afford college. Their parents are not in the country or usually working mediocre jobs. Are they all getting free college? Without Federal Pell Grants and Federal Stafford Loans, I have no idea where they'd get money from. Or do daca dreamers qualify for Pell grants and federal loans?

Aid going to illegals couldd have gone to legal students.

Correct

I will support my neighbors children in my small area of this world, than support illegal aliens from India, on the other side of the planet.

what is wrong with people in this culture?

See, e.g., Titke IX. The vast majority of literate people know this already. Sad that I have to educate so many on the basics.

If by this culture you mean the US, obviously not much, seeing as how so many people want to come here.

meanwhile, the educated elite continue to segregate themselves from the middle class. Increase immigration to keep wages low, build walls around neighborhoods to protect from middle class families, and increase costs of education to keep the middle class out of the network to find good jobs and keep good opportunities.

The University recently sent a letter home to families informing them of a 3.9 percent increase in the bottom-line price tag of a year’s tuition as a full-time student at the University, which will amount to $67,136 for the 2017-2018 academic year. The cost reflects the comprehensive fee including tuition, a student government fee, and standard room and board.
