Today’s blacklisted American: University of Arizona gives free tuition to American Indians; All other races must pay – Behind The Black – Robert Zimmerman

“Segregation today, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” The University of Arizona has begun a new racist policy whereby anyone who is a member of one of 22 American Indian tribes that exist in the state will be excused from paying any tuition or fees while studying on campus.

Beginning in the fall, new and continuing full-time, degree-seeking, in-state undergraduates will be eligible for the Arizona Native Scholars Grant, the first program of its kind in Arizona. The program will be administered by UArizona Enrollment Management.

“Serving Arizona’s Native American tribes and tribal students is a crucial part of the University of Arizona’s land-grant mission, and the Arizona Native Scholars Grant program is another important step among many to do that,” said University of Arizona President Robert C. Robbins. “I am so proud that that this university has found a way to help hundreds of students more easily access and complete a college education, and I look forward to finding ways to take these efforts even further.”

To be eligible, students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, and provide tribal identification. Native American tribes’ federal legal status allows universities to administer scholarships and grants to tribal members.

More than 400 students enrolled at UArizona last year meet the criteria for the new program.

Let me translate what UA president Robert C. Robbins is really saying:

American Indians are special. All other races are inferior and must be treated accordingly. Furthermore, those inferior races (mostly white and Asian) must pay for the education of this special race. And they better not complain about being treated unfairly, or else they will find themselves blacklisted, canceled, and ostracized. Get to the back of the bus, boy, and shut up!

It seems to me that the Arizona state legislature should take a look at this university’s funding. If UA wishes to institute racist admissions policies then maybe the taxpayers should not help it do so….
