Tulane University activists are demanding that the school offer reparations to the descendants of slaves who worked on the plantation that became campus grounds nearly 200 years ago.Before the school's establishment in 1834—created as a medical university in response to the cholera, yellow fever, and smallpox epidemics—the land was used as a plantation. The school's Black Student Union (BSU) asked administrators to identify the descendants of the enslaved people who once worked on the plantation and offer them full tuition and more, according to a list of demands posted online.

No doubt the university activists have theiir Facebook evidence that they are descendants all printed up and ready to go.

I am not black, but I think of myself as black...so it must so. I was never a slave but in my past black life I was a slave. My newly converted Buddhist brother-in-law says past lives are possible...so I want my reparations, but keep the free tuition because I would probably drop out anyway...so in essence I am saving the government money.

I think it's only right and just to send these people back to their ancestral homelands- free of charge. I really hate to see them suffer so much.

I see no reason to pay most of the members of the faculty at these colleges.
Make it all free of charge!

Any of the students enrolled there who can prove, definitively, that they are descended from somebody who was a slave on that particular plantation should receive consideration (but no guarantees). Those claiming to be thusly entitled but having no evidence of the connection should receive instruction ... to pound sand ... and to do that somewhere else.

Having a son starting college this fall (for $30K a year in loans and my checkbook, AFTER scholarships), I may want to get onboard this bandwagon. If I had a buck for every slick marketing piece or campus recruiter that I dealt with, well. I'd be able to pay the bill on my own.

They are going to need the professors to award them unearned grades if they are to be able to put their education to use in any useful career because they are certainly not smart enough to get a degree the old fashioned way.

That's on top of the million dollars each are supposed to receive.

How large is Tulane's endowment? I'm sure they've got this covered.

They will have their lineage well-documented. That is not the school’s responsibility. Considering how flimsy birth recordings could be for anyone in that era, the notion that there will be documented lineage for slaves is a pipe dream.

Correction:
They will have to have their lineage well-documented.

I would tell them "If you don't like it here, and don't want to pay for the classes, you are welcome to LEAVE."

These snowflakes are free to go to another, less oppressive college/university if they find Tulane history too hurtful and oppressive. I love that they claim that having a police presence near their protests is a violation of free speech while they call for the repression of free speech against other groups that they do not politically agree with. Maybe they should try a more "free" university like the University of Havana in Cuba, Kim Il-Sung University in North Korea, or King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. Go make some "demands" for changes and your causes at these places. I'm sure they would be more than happy to meet the demands of our "activist" student's causes and free speech rights. They will surely have a discussion with you about your "demands" and your "rights".

This, from a lifetime of participation trophies and no-challenge school curricula with automatic grade promotion.

So after they get free tuition and graduate with a degree in disadvantaged race gender studies, I'm sure some liberal tech company will hire them for their executive branch and give them that corner office they so highly deserve. Anything less than a vice-presidential job and $200 grand a year would be racist.

I know someone going to Tulane. She was told to apply as a minority. Both parents are doctors.

Tulane or not Tulane, that is the question. Who wants to spend $100k on a Racial Studies major, when it can be demanded for free?
