[QUOTE="POKE1911, post: 3270581, member: 24536"] He gave over 600+ million to the university over the years. Majority was academics, helping create what is revered as a fantastic engineering and geological programs. Why would he pay someone’s tuition? How about build a place people want to go and get a quality education and help everyone. Anyone who says they can’t afford a degree is lazy or uneducated. With grants, federal aid, loans, and WORKING its possible. I and so many of my friends are walking examples of this. I applied for every grant and scholarship I could. I went to class everyday and worked 35 hours a week to make rent and be able to eat. Left school with 30k in student loans, paid it off in a few years and I’d do it again in a heartbeat for the opportunities it helped provide. I wasn’t born with a silverspon but I wasn’t going to use that as a crutch to not work my ass off for what I wanted. [/QUOTE]
