Another tax. Another welfare program. Those who have to pay full price tuition are forced by government to subsidize "scholarships" for the chosen few. I thought Rick Perry and the Republican legislature were supposed to protect us from increased taxes but it turns out that when they set it so that relatively unaccountable consumers of the people's taxes like Texas Tech can create politically correct unlevel playing fields, it's nothing but another tax, fascism administered at a distance where the legislature and executive do not have to accept responsibility.
Add stuff like this to the long list of taxes you have to pay until May or June or July every year before you are permitted by the government to work for yourself.
