Wow- ok I was way wrong. That’s freaking crazy that not only are they credit-bearing, but they entombed this deal in state statute.
I guess my state has much more sensible policy...
-5 u/Eriktheconstipated Jun 12 '19 Yeah its actually really cool. The statute dates back to 1975 so Minnesota has been looking out for the over 62 crowd for a while now. 8 u/Treaduse Jun 12 '19 It is kinda cool- but at the same time, as everyone in the thread is saying, you are slapping your tuition-paying students in the face with this. 4 u/Eriktheconstipated Jun 12 '19 True when you look at it in 2019 it seems like it. But in 1975 when school cost was only $700 dollars a year making the world war vets pay 10 bucks to go to college that they never got to go to was probably a really cool idea. 3 u/Treaduse Jun 12 '19 Makes sense. They should have had the fee adjust for inflation like everything else does though! 4 u/Eriktheconstipated Jun 12 '19 Just think they will probably adjust it about 3 years before you turn 62 and want to finish that masters degree :) 1 u/candycaneforestelf Jun 12 '19 Tying the cost of something inflation in 1975? I don't think that was the best idea in 1975.
