Alaskan natives should have free tution at any Alaska based college
As a step son of an Alaskan native from Kodiak. I would not qualify here however many of my cousins and nephews and nieces would qualify native corporations could prove a blood line. This would include any Alaskan natives born out of Alaska who can prove their heritage with a native corporation would also get free tution. You should ask your legislators to get on board and support the First Alaskans education Free college bill. Come on Les Gara, Bill Weichelowski, Hollis French you can get behind this and actually help Alaskan natives get better education. Native corporations can also help out by paying for tution for all decents of an Alaskan native. The bad part is adopted or step children would not qualify under this idea.
All students should have free tuition then. The University of Alaska was founded as a federal land grant institution and under the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, all people are protected equally, regardless of any accident of birth.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point you both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton wanted to give Americans free four year tuition if you had over a C average in high school during the presidential campaign
