    “I’m too poor to not give money to a regressive university”

    Bama has over 40k students enrolled and less than 200 bothered to even protest this shitbag giving a commencement speech. There wasn’t even a movement to skip attending the event at all.

    I know college students at minor schools, I know people who work in admissions at major universities, I know grad students who are single parents. I know people who handle scholarships and grant funding.

    Yeah college is an expensive bureaucracy and not having money makes it harder. But trust me when I say that anyone scraping by at a flagship university has a way out. This isn’t cold hearted bootstraps, the university system is probably the most supportive career institution in America (if you’re a student).

    There are a plethora of ways to show you give a shit and resources to help you do it. The people still at Bama don’t give a shit.

          Only got 2 undergrad degrees and 2 masters

          I hadn’t even thought that maybe you went to college? Must’ve been a stuffy place where you didn’t learn anything
