If you’re black or American Indian and looking for a free education, I’ve got news you can use.Small university Wayfinding Academy is leveling an unjust playing field.That’s right — the two-year community college has announced its “Free Tuition Initiative.”Via the official website, WA lays it out: Effective immediately, Wayfinding Academy is waiving tuition for Black and Native American students…for whom Wayfinding is a [good fit].Now if that ain’t a deal, I don’t know what is.This is our Free Tuition Initiative, and it will be offered every year moving forward.

And their education will be worth exactly what they paid for it. Portland, Oregon. Anyone surprised?

Outstanding graduates of Wayfinding Academy can be found proudly cooking fries at McDonald's and sacking groceries at Wal-Mart (well, at least until the minimum wage goes up to $15 an hour, at which time they will be receiving welfare and drinking cheap wine on the curb with their fellow and sister alumni)!!!

If it's free they will not appreciate it. Kind of like people who tear the copper pipes out of "free" housing. If you have no stake in your education you will be more likely to blow off going to class and perhaps even drop out.
I wonder if some selfless professors will work for free, or if white and Asian students will have to pay more in tuition and fees to cover the underprivileged minorities.

Do they at least have a small drinking fountain for whites? It doesn’t have to be clean, of course.

Nothing, absolutely *nothing* in the “education “ world is truly free. Others are paying more.

I’m a 68 year old white woman. Can I get in free if I identify as an 18 year old black woman?

Chickasaw's provide the bulk of tuition for their citizens attending college in their nation. Currently there are 4 colleges/universities. They also provide yearly book allowance and once a semester clothing allowance. The better your grades the more you get. There are also job opportunities within the nation to supplement income. Comes out of the Chickasaw budget.

Why would anyone who is not black or native American pay to go to this college when others do not have to pay based on race? I sincerely hope no paying customers apply to this college run by extreme racist and they go bankrupt

People who cannot afford to go to college but instead get jobs and pay taxes are paying the tuition for others.

"Wayfinding Academy is a 2-year college located in Portland, Oregon where education is hand crafted for each individual student based on his or her interests". Figures.

Guess I've been living in a cave for decades...... never hear of Wayfaring Academy. Is it one of the Ivy Leauge schools? one of the top state schools?

How much would Kamal-Lala pay? Mother is 'of color' but not black or American Indian. Father is black but Jamaican, not American.

A degree from there will allow one to progress to the third grade in any public school. Whatever makes these appeasing liberals FEEL GOOD and keeps them off our backs is fine with me.

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education runs 14 universities in the State.
The PSSHE offers special scholarships to minority (mostly black) students = a free ride, with open admissions, much like the school in the article.
And as far as I know, the PSSHE still spends millions of dollars each year for diversity recruiting, along with special remedial programs for entering 'scholars.'

Black people make up less than 6 % of population of Portland,so theyare bending to small group of people.

Why not? They already get all the scholarships and preferences for employment. Meanwhile, white folks have all the privilege. Never got anything for free for all this "privilege" I have.

Based on the 'Our Story' page on the school's website, Wayfinding sounds more like a young adult daycare than a community college.
