Francisco Sotomayor’s Tuesday letter completely ignores the struggles of working-class students. Sure, block tuition might be great for someone who wants to take underwater basket weaving, but some of us actually have to work to get through college.
I find block tuition to be a offensive policy that only shows how out of touch the Board of Governors is. Students who have to work one or two jobs to pay their way through school shouldn’t be punished just so Sotomayor can take a sports or art class he doesn’t want to pay for.
I hope students here will stand against this discriminatory proposal. UF is a diverse institution. Let’s not let it become a place where only the silver-spoon elites can make it.
