Maybe they should lower their tuition fees instead.
I despise uber lib UT. Agree, they have the highest public college tuition in the state. That said, if someone can’t afford to eat, then maybe they should find a cheaper school instead of have everyone else pay for their mistake.
The whole city of Austin should be popped like a zit.
Is this where all the leftover garbage michelle the mooch tried to shove down the throats of our children has ended up?
hat tip to alexander. point worth repeating:

The newsworthy issue here isn’t that some students really are living “on the edge,” materially.
The real story here is that students - as a whole - are being “groomed” to believe and to feel like they’re “losers” who can’t even feed themselves.
Just imagine the (at first unnoticed) loss of self-esteem that goes with accepting hand-outs!
Further, just imagine the (hidden, inward) psychological reaction of those other students - many of whom are also living “hand to mouth” - when they see their classmates living “high on the hog” on hand-outs.

Of course, that was when Reagan was president and wouldn't dole out all the "free stuff" which encouraged tuitions and fees to go through the roof. There is no other explanation. Tuition and fees outpaced inflation, oil prices, health care costs and everything just as more free government money and easy debt became available to pay for it. Was that a coincidence, or what?
anybody seen a post about a masulinity sensitivity training course at UT?
thought I notice it somewhere???
I hope the IRS requires a 1099 for the freebies.
If I’m interviewing a recent college graduate, the first question I would ask is, “How did you finance your college education?”
This was 2007, when the economy was in the crapper in a college town of 20,000 (at least half of it students, faculty, support staff and their families).
Part-time jobs aren't nearly as hard to come by as when I was a pup.
Was anyone here hungry yesterday. Then you too suffer for the malady of hunger and you should get a bag of food.........
A couple of my grandkids got part time jobs at college—in the past couple of years..

Oh, not at all! It works so well with healthcare.
What kind of box wine goes with peanut butter?...Dickens Cider.
With the deans permission my last 2 senior semesters I took 15 hours as an UG and 9 additional hours as a fast track graduate student. Those 9 hours were for free as I was still officially classified as an undergraduate student all 26 hours for the 15 hour UG rate.
I graduated in May with two undergraduate degrees and again 6 months later in December with a masters of science and 3 additional and separate graduate certifications on top of that while maintaining honors status for all six.
I used the flat rate and had the will power and intelligence to do so. That is motivation these kids are lazy spoiled brats. It can be done you have be be strong in mind, body, and spirit something millennials completely lack.
Another tip: never hire a man who wears a belt (as opposed to suspenders). He'll spend all his time pulling his pants up.
My mom’s youngest brother walked from Lynchburg, VA to
Charlottesville, VA each Sunday night/Monday morning.

Isn’t that about 60 miles one way. Lot of walking..
Cheap white bread, bologna, ramen, hotdogs, mac and cheese etc, you can eat cheap if you have too. 5 bucks a day easy! Suck it up buttercup!
Philistine! Republican Scum! Wash your mouth out with Lifebuoy and report to the Dean of Diversity for further disciplinary action!
Hmmm...I guess U.T. doesn’t offer financial aid to students./s You’d think that students so poor that they are hungry would qualify.
And what about all the hungry and poor students with traffic citations who have peanut allergies? The citation payback plan seems to discriminate against them, as they can’t just go buy peanut butter to trade for their fines like the rest of the non-peanut-allergic bad drivers./s
