Happy graduation! Billionaire pays off Morehouse College grads’ student-loan debt
Why Robert F. Smith’s pledge to pay off Morehouse loans is a turning point for colleges and the billionaires that support them
Interesting that the billionaire is a billionaire because he's a part of a private equity firm. In other words, he's not saving pennies and investing it with Wall Street. He's a part of the Wall Street machine. Same old, same old -- preach the Script while not living by it, but instead serving it.
I'm sure this gift has colleges a bit frightened-- instead of the money/grant going to the college where they can launder it through the university industrial complex, building fancy architecture and increasing tenured salaries, it should be going directly to the kids.
Not sure if handing out "freebies" is a good precedent.
Everyone loves free stuff and free stuff is rarely appreciated.
