Seconds after University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman banged the gavel to start Thursday´s Board of Regents meeting, the first student stood up. Freshman Daniel Morales took off his shirt to unveil a yellow T-shirt underneath. He took a piece of red tape and put it across his mouth. (Snip) About 100 students followed suit, one at a time, sitting quietly on the floor as part of a protest calling for U-M to offer in-state tuition to those students who went to high school in Michigan, but are undocumented residents. Snip added by staff.

Comments: Well, I´d pass this but with the caveat that the difference in tuition bills be added to people who volunteer to ask the university to allow this. hahaha. Seriously: if this is a topic of discussion the U must have figured that the ability to admit more, ahem, diversified students is outweighed by the costs.

Raise the tuition on all these students enough so that what they have to pay equals what the aliens would have had to pay. That should shut them up quickly.

Illegal aliens. We can´t afford them anymore, sorry. Go study in your own country. This madness has got to stop.

Smarmy punks are lazy. Why don´t they tutor kids - citizen or otherwise - rather than encourage lawbreaking and more handouts to the undeserving?

Sorry #1, but I´ll bet that 99% of the students are NOT paying their own tuition.
They are getting their education paid for by; parent(s), 529 plans, which other people contributed to, or student loans, (which we´ll all pay for eventually)!!!

This kids are so dang smart. Red for their politics and yellow for their courage. It takes a lot of courage to demand socialism using other people´s money.

And a kid from Illinois gets to pay out of state tuition?
One rate for all.
Or everybody not a citizen of the state pays the out of state rate.
No exceptions.

A fine example of 12-16 years of progressive, liberal, socialist education and training in spending other people´s money.

I have posted that the mindless drivel of diversity for its own sake is, well, mindless, when applied to african americans. Diversity with foreign students in class really is a positive. One of my best classes ever was a human resources seminar, back about 15 years ago, and three muslims were enrolled. One man was from Indonesia, one man from Turkey, and a woman from Palestine. When we reached that part of the course for the examination of civil rights laws applied to employment, each of them made a significant contribution...

How many states offer in-state tuition to illegals?
So a kid born in the United States who wants to go to a state school in another state, pays out-of-state tuition. But a kid who has no legal right to be in this country gets to go there at the reduced rate of an in-state student, courtesy of the taxpayers.
Disgusting.

Bwahahahaha. I amuse myself.

When you allow them to set the language you surrender the argument. These are not "undocumented" students. They clearly are "documented" if they are enrolled. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS. Any time you write a letter to editor, use the correct terminology and don´t let them set the terms of debate, or you have already surrendered.

I live in this insane asylum, what goes on here politically is mind boggling. For a city that has as many advanced degree holding citizens, I say most of them are dumber than a box of hammers and I´m probably guilty of slighting the hammers and the box.

It´s hard to feel right about punishing a kid for the transgression of his/her parents. But to give the in-state tuition would reward the parents and encourage further illegal residency. So either choice entails an injustice. I hate those dilemmas.

Sorry, #10, but what you described is truly diverse. The universities are only interested in dermatological diversity.
They want everyone to arrive mostly indoctrinated and can´t stand independent thought otherwise they´d welcome religious people, conservatives and thinkers along with the usual suspects.
I should be able to write an entrance essay that says "I´m white, conservative and (x) denomination regular church goes" and have them clamoring to enroll me... but that isn´t the way it is.

Few issues divide Democrats more than energy policy, as we´ve learned as unions and environmentalists fight over the Keystone XL pipeline. More evidence now comes from California, where greens have lost an attempt to ban oil and gas hydraulic fracturing. Democratic leaders brought their fracking moratorium bill to the Assembly floor last week, and their rank and file revolted. The bill lost 37-24, with 12 Democrats joining 25 Republicans to defeat it. Another 18 Democrats abstained, ...

U.K. stocks retreated, sending the FTSE 100 Index (UKX) lower for a second day, after the euro area forced Cyprus to adopt an unprecedented levy on bank deposits, threatening to reignite the region’s debt crisis. Barclays Plc (BARC) and Prudential Plc (PRU) led a selloff in financial firms, both falling at least 2.5 percent. Eurasian Natural Resources Corp. fell with mining companies as base metals declined and a newspaper said the company may write down more than $1 billion this week. The FTSE 100 Index lost 60.77 points, or 0.9 percent, to 6,428.88 at 10:33 a.m. in London,...

Hostility has been mounting this week in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, after two plainclothes police officers fatally shot 16-year-old Kimani Gray after he allegedly pointed a revolver at them on Saturday night. On Monday a group of about 130 people were marching toward the 67th Police Precinct station when about two dozen young protesters splintered off — drawing riot police — and trashed a Rite Aid. Tuesday the crowd was mostly calm, but on Wednesday — the same day Gray´s autopsy showed he had been shot seven times ...

Post Thanksgiving ruminations and ruinations ... Question: When is it better to earn $29,000 than to earn $69,000? Answer: When you’re a single mom living in Pennsylvania. Why? Because, thanks to our generous welfare system, a single mom makes out better that way. When all the benefits are added up, the lower-paid single mom qualifies to receive $57,327 in net income and benefits, while the mom who earns $69,000 ends up with a net income and benefits of $57,045.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
