Lefties will say that this was due to the students’ poverty, but black students get tons of aid money, regardless of their families’ income; i.e., a black student will get more financial aid than a white student with the same income. It’s illegal, but it’s been the practice of at least 37 years. The problem is the same as with welfare money for rent: Blacks spend the money on other things, and feel no obligation to pay their bills. That’s why some states stopped giving the rent checks to the clients, and began paying them directly to the landlord.
Kentucky State U. Drops One-Quarter of Student Body, Citing Tuition Owed

Kentucky State University announced on Wednesday it had dropped 645 students—roughly 25 percent of its enrollment—because they had not paid tuition, according to the university’s website. The university’s president, Raymond M. Burse, cited a $7-million budget deficit in the decision to disenroll students who owed the university more than $1,000 in tuition, fees, or room and board.
According to the historically black institution, students with outstanding debt were warned 22 times in the past 14 months of the university’s plan to hold them to account. Kentucky State’s foundations paid the debts of students who owed less than $1,000, and some scholarships were given to delinquent students who were set to graduate this year or were first-time college students.
“We have done everything we can to help students who need it the most,” Mr. Burse said in a written statement on the website. “The last thing we want to ever do is remove a student from enrollment, but the university cannot endure the entire burden.”
According to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, Kentucky State’s fall 2013 enrollment was 2,533. Students who have been dropped represent more than one-quarter of that total.
