4/3/22: "'We Paid to be Here': Georgia State University Students Flood Rating Site with Low Scores After Professor Calls Campus Police on Two Tardy Students After They Refuse to Leave Class When Asked"- So I am going to address this issue as a fellow student since I have not been a normal instructor in a class room. I feel that the professor was in the right. If you pay to be at school then be at school on time. When students show up late it is disrupting to the other students and instructor. If these students really cared about their education they would have been on time. Life does happen and if it will make you late to class just miss the class instead of messing with your fellow students. What these students did was not only disrespectful to education, but it was highly disrespectfully to their peers. If they refused to leave showing even more disrespect then it was the right thing to have them removed by the police. Our country disrespects education so much and this is just another example of it. This is also an abuse of a rating site by others supporting the disrespect of education. https://atlantablackstar.com/2022/04/03/we-paid-to-be-here-georgia-state-university-students-flood-rating-site-with-low-scores-after-professor-calls-campus-police-on-two-tardy-students-after-they-refuse-to-leave-class-when-asked/?fbclid=IwAR1sicztc_P8MmobXFcgj8U_jMoj_45MVQ0CwxxaFJA9cRX-RF4zeFTiOmg

4/12/22: "Colorado House approves in-state tuition for students after one year of residency"- I'm not sure why they did this. Most schools in Colorado was already using 1 year as the residency requirement. (Here is the link to CDHE's page that shows this was already in place https://cdhe.colorado.gov/qualified-persons). https://www.coloradopolitics.com/legislature/colorado-house-approves-in-state-tuition-for-students-after-one-year-of-residency/article_075116ba-ba83-11ec-bed1-a333e704be55.html?fbclid=IwAR3QSQ_2nltNohGP1pXTEeZcHQcEQ1HZDnh0kGgNCUAgeTT47CgDCla7eTM

Polis signs Colorado universal preschool bill into law"- https://co.chalkbeat.org/2022/4/25/23041861/colorado-free-universal-preschool-polis-bill-signed "Colorado college students will get access to their transcripts and diplomas, even if they haven't paid tuition and other debts"- You can tell this was created by people that do not have true experience dealing with the day to day on a college campus. People have found so many ways to scam colleges and this is another one. Now students can jump from school to school taking their credits in transfer without ever paying any of the schools they attend. This will allow them to rip off several schools and then get higher paying jobs. Another problem with this is now that students can bounce around to schools it will also hurt them stacking up debt at each school that then gets higher when it is sent to collections. The people that came up with this really didn't know enough about this to be working on it. https://www.cpr.org/2022/04/25/colorado-college-students-will-get-access-to-their-transcripts-and-diplomas-even-if-they-havent-paid-tuition-and-other-debts/
