    University Will Pay ‘100 Percent’ Of Illegal Students’ Financial Needs

    Posted By David Krayden On 1:21 PM 05/05/2017

    Emory University is keen to pay “100 percent of demonstrated financial need for undocumented students (with or without DACA) who are admitted as first-year, first-degree-seeking students,” according to an online description of coming fall program.

    As The College Fix reports, the private Atlanta university has given the take care of illegals program the unwieldy name of “Need-Based Financial Aid Program for Undocumented Students, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) Students” and the information is all available on their website.

    There’s money galore for illegals. “All Undocumented Students (with or without DACA) who are admitted as first-year, first-degree-seeking undergraduate students, who have graduated from a U.S. high school, and who are determined by Emory to have financial need, will be awarded Emory financial aid funds to assist them in meeting their demonstrated need,” the website promo declares.

    Just to ensure that no illegal is left behind, the program description continues, “Emory meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for undergraduate Undocumented Students (with or without DACA) who are admitted as first-year, first-degree-seeking students, and who graduated from a U.S. High school through a combination of grants and scholarships, institutional work study (DACA students only), and institutional loans. Undocumented Students without DACA status may receive an institutional loan in place of the typical work study award.”

    Emory neglects to provide an exact definition of what exactly constitutes “financial need.”

    Emory receives high marks as an academic institution and charges $50,000 in tuition fees for American citizens and $70,000 for foreign nationals, who won’t be sharing in the financial needs bonanza with the illegal students.

    International students, who don’t intend to stay in the U.S. illegally, are instructed by the university that “you are required to certify that you have sufficient funds to cover your expenses while attending Emory University.”

    In an email to The College Fix, Emory spokeswoman Megan McRainey explained the university’s generous position vis-a-vis illegals.

    “Emory accepts undocumented students for admission and financial aid, including those under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program,” says McRainey, because it reflects the facility’s “values to welcome students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds.”

    Not that this will lead to Emory becoming a “sanctuary campus” because McRainey insists there is “no legal definition” for the term. Despite rolling out the red carpet for illegal students, McRainey did not think this would interfere with the university’s stated desire to “respect the authority of government officials who are performing their legal duties.”

    Despite McRainey’s denial that a “sanctuary campus” has no existence in law and is not an objective at Emory, more than 200 faculty members were happy to sign a petition in favor of such a legal fiction and sent it to Emory’s president, Claire Sterk.

    McRainey proudly listed the other initiatives that Emory has taken to make illegals feel at home, telling The College Fix that the university has “implemented strong support services for the university community to obtain information and guidance with respect to questions regarding possible changes to the DACA program and continues to establish sustainable solutions to support undocumented students through its Campus Life offices.”

    I'm sorry but that's clear cut race-based, ethnic discrimination against American students and harboring, aiding and abetting illegal aliens in violation of US immigration law.

    Don't think because you're "Emory", the American people will let this slide. We won't. You're on our radar now, boys and girls of "EMORY".

    It would be difficult to legally prosecute for "ethnic discrimination" but giving illegals financial assistance and a safe harbor is definitely, by federal definition, aiding and abetting.

    I believe they could lose Federal funding under Title IV under the Education Civil Rights law, unless they give the same exact benefits to comparible American citizens. One slip up of their wording on any document can lead to lawsuits.

    Critics blast Emory University plan to help undocumented students

    May 9, 2017
    By Eric Stirgus

    Some critics of an incoming policy by Emory University to provide need-based financial aid to undocumented first-year students are suggesting the Trump administration should withhold federal funding to the private institution.
    Emory officials, though, say critics have misinterpreted how the policy works.

    Beginning this fall, Emory will offer “100 percent of demonstrated financial need” for undocumented undergraduate students who graduated from a U.S. high school. The financial help would come from a combination of university-based grants and scholarships, work study and loans, Emory says on its website.

    Emory’s plan has been condemned this week on right-leaning websites and on social media.

    A post Saturday on a site called PJ Media, for example, said: “The solution is simple. If you’re a citizen of another country in the U.S. legally on a student visa, drop out of school, sneak back into the U.S. illegally, and reapply at Emory claiming you’re “undocumented.” Forget all those fuddy-duddies who might say it’s not fair that someone who broke the law to get here is entitled to benefits that law-abiding students aren’t eligible for. You’re behind the times, man.”

    Prominent Georgia Republican strategist Julianne Thompson said criticism of the policy has “lit up” Facebook and Twitter. She thinks Emory should have its federal funding withheld if it goes through with the program.

    “I think it’s a terrible idea,” Thompson said Tuesday. “It’s a reward for breaking the law.”

    Emory’s financial aid director John Leach stressed no federal or state funds are used for the program, which began in 2015 and was updated for this fall. Leach cited federal guidelines that say undocumented students may be eligible for aid from a college or university.

    “There is a lot of misinformation that has been put forth,” Leach said.

    Emory, he said, will review the prospective student’s income tax records before determining how much aid a student can receive.

    The average need-based award for an undergraduate student is about $38,000 a year, Leach said. Emory’s undergraduate tuition, student housing and other fees this fall is nearly $67,000.

    Leach declined to say how many undocumented students were at Emory this school year, citing federal privacy guidelines. He insisted the number of undocumented Emory students was small.

    Leach wouldn’t respond to criticism about Emory’s policy, but said it was originally done to admit top students.

    “We want the most highly-qualified, the strongest students,” he said.

    Emory received nearly $390 million from federal agencies in fiscal year 2016, the university said on its website. About 85 percent of that money came from the National Institutes of Health. Emory’s Woodruff Health Sciences Center received about $365 million, with most of that money also coming from the NIH. The university’s total revenue for the 2015-16 school year was about $2 billion, with an endowment of close to $7 billion, according to its factbook.

    Some colleges offer funding paths for undocumented students similar to Emory’s. Brown University announced in September it would meet 100 percent of each student’s demonstrated financial need, starting this fall. Loyola University Chicago has a scholarship fund for undocumented students to which students, faculty and alumni can contribute. In 2015, that university’s students passed a referendum to increase its student development fees by $2.50 a semester to support undocumented Loyola undergraduate students who demonstrated financial need but do not qualify for federal financial aid.

    Emory has been at the center of several politically charged disputes over the past year. The university announced in January it wouldn’t become a “sanctuary campus” for undocumented students, despite an online petition by students and faculty urging that step. Emory said it could be misinterpreted as Emory disobeying federal law.

    Emory recently joined about 30 institutions in a court filing against President Donald Trump’s executive order to block immigrants from six heavily Muslim nations, saying it would be detrimental to education. Last year, several students said they felt threatened by pro-Trump messages written in chalk on campus sidewalks.
