[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$250 Million.  Wow?

Youu could literally the HBCUs afloat with that kind of money.[/quote]

Actually no.  That $250M was spent over 8 years.  And earlier in the thread there are comparisons to the U of M overall budget.

Howard alone receives about $200M per year from the federal government as an appropriated support amount.  That's a good chunk of its budget but not a majority.

It seems like the money might be enough to run only Morehouse for two years.

There are more than 100 HBCUs with estimated 228K students.

Big numbers are pretty mind-blowing, I get that.  But the math's not mathing on the PP's statement.

If you don't get the point or don't want to, just say so.  $250 million is an obscene amount of money to waste on something as stupid as DEI.
Working class Michiganders are making hard decisions about keeping body and soul together and the state university is wasting money on this crap.
This is why trump won.[/quote]

So your local kids can turn down the free four year scholarship at U of M and maybe go for free to a directional school instead?  Look how high the income limits go!!!  If you're really working class, then your family/friends/neighborhood kids would be eligible.

Again for the people who only read the last page, PP is partially arguing against scholarship money for in-state students.

I'm going to leave the Trump comment alone.  It's badly off-topic.
