A Gift to Morehouse Class of 2019: Your Student Loans Are Gone

The college said the value of the gift from Robert F.

Smith is about $40 million, though the exact figure is being negotiated, according to a Morehouse spokeswoman. That donation covers the student loans for about 400 graduates. Terrance Dixon, vice president of enrollment management, said the average Morehouse...

Student loans should never be a thing. Education should be free (for all). It is our God-given right, and clearly we can’t get a job by telling someone “I studied from books” without having a degree. So cut us some slack and eliminate the fucking school tuitions.

Wow!!! What a gift.

amazing!

This is an example of a more effective way the wealthy can tackle major problems in our country than simply handing more money over to the federal government via taxes.

This is a truly generous gift. I hope these kids pay it forward.

Is this black priviledge ?

Great you just gave all the “C” students a participation trophy. Just what they are used to receiving.

Indian businessmen like Ambani/Adani etc. can also do such charitable acts, instead of just making themselves richer and the country poorer.

Why bail out stupid decisions? They should have to suffer

I bet he never saw himself as a “victim”! 👍🏼👍🏼

Garbage liberal arts academia is driving up tuition - hate cults!

So this gift can’t come from Smith’s family foundation, since the students aren’t charitable entities. And all of a sudden they have taxable income, no?

Woo boo

That’s what a winner looks like. LoserTrump

Robert F Smith earned his degrees at Cornell University and Columbia Business School. BUT picks Morehouse College to pay student debt. It’s a complete mystery why he picked that college.

Wow, that’s an honorable gesture.
