Lawyers have already looked into it and said he can do it. And who is going to fight something like that. It would be political suicide. I guess we will see.
I guess they feel the political heat will be worth it. But unless you correct the root cause of the problem - education costs growing faster than inflation - it’s no different than the illegal immigrant amnesty of 1986. It fixes nothing longer term and sends its own signal that what happened before might become commonplace.

Oh I agree. The whole public education system needs fixing.
I paid $200 a credit at Hofstra in the 1980s. A credit now costs $1,600. Inflation hasn’t made prices go up 800% in 35 years. Colleges and universities are price gouging because they can.

Look to any number of states to file lawsuits against this.
Standards lawyers won't be the final authority on this. I suspect this will go to the Supreme Court if it's attempted.
As for whether I believe such a move would be legal, I'd have to look more into the law at issue, but from what I hear, there seems to be sound legal argument.
This is their ploy to get all low-information losers in GA to go vote for democrats in Jan. Free anything sounds good to all of them. Gotta get the democrats in!
