The original University of Nevada (now UNR) was chartered as a small A&M (+Mining) land grant college. It was endowed with sufficient capital (in Trust) to make it forever independent of additional tax support. That means *all* UNR students -- with declared majors in Mining, Agriculture or Engineering (Military Sciece, too) -- should be paying ZERO (or just nominal) tuition. I think they currently pay the same as liberal arts majors (who shouldn't even be there). This outrage is going to get worse. Soon they'll be paying the most.
Hey UNR applied science majors. Sue the Regents for stealing your constitutional, free science education birthright!
NSHE is a *political* institution! What is this
- Redistributionist scheme that middle class kids have to pay more to subsidize poor ones?
- Egalitarian obsession that no one should be priced out of a college education -- even dumb kids?
- Elitist conceit that those who choose not to go to college should be forced to pay for those who do -- even those who are there just to goof off?
- Distorted communal value system that places liberal arts programs on equal footing with science ones?
