Funny. None of the usual suspects are holding protests at this school. Why not?

Arizona college imposes annual student fee to fund illegal immigrant scholarships

Prescott College in Arizona has decided to charge students a $30 annual fee to finance a scholarship fund for illegal immigrant students.

The fee was originally proposed by students and faculty from the Social Justice and Human Rights program, according to Fox News, and will automatically be added to each student’s $28,000 tuition bill starting next semester unless they take advantage of an opt-out provision.

“I am proud that our students take on the role of scholar activists,” school President John Flicker said in a statement, adding, “We’re committed to broadening access to higher education for a diverse group of students and mobilize our resources towards social justice.”

The Freedom Education Fund, as the scholarship will be known, was conceived by graduate student Miriel Manning as a senior project, The Daily Courier reports, and quickly gained traction among students, resulting in a majority of them signing a petition asking Prescott to implement the idea.

“Prescott College offers an experiential, interdisciplinary education that teaches our students how to make the change they want to see in the world,” observed Provost Paul Burkhardt. “We are very proud of the way one student found a cause they cared about and rallied support from their fellow-students to help someone in need.”
