After the state of Nebraska finally agreed to end in-state tuition for illegals, according to a report at Campus Reform, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln professor is unsurprisingly calling out state officials.
“Crystal E. Garcia, an associate professor in UNL’s Department of Educational Administration, wrote in a social media post that Nebraska students were facing “hits to supports” after state officials moved to end tuition benefits for illegal immigrants and the university dissolved its Office of Gender and Sexuality.”
In other words, DEI and pandering to Illegals or else.
“The comments came after the DOJ challenged Nebraska’s tuition policies in federal court. The DOJ argued that the state’s previous system violated federal law by allowing illegal immigrants to receive in-state tuition rates and financial aid benefits unavailable to some American citizens from other states.”
It shouldn’t have taken DOJ involvement to end this illegal and immoral practice in the first place.
“Nebraskans expect that illegal aliens won’t get the benefit of in-state tuition and financial aid, and federal law forbids it,” Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen said in a statement supporting the move. ”
This should hardly be a source of friction, as they are called illegal aliens for a reason; someone breaking federal law is clearly not entitled to special treatment.
The fact that many professors disagree is an indictment of our education system.
This professor who complained has a history of research focusing on “racially minoritized college students,” student affairs, and campus climate issues in higher education.”
Woke won’t go away so easily despite federal law.
The professor’s post also “referenced the university’s decision to dissolve its Office of Gender and Sexuality. The university recently announced that the office’s services and staff would be reorganized under Student Culture and Community, according to a university announcement.”
Clearly, despite the hard-fought efforts of the Trump administration to end DEI and enforce federal law regarding illegal aliens, the universities are resisting common sense.
Colleges clearly remain opposed to common sense and would, on the whole, prefer to engage in Wokeness.
