<p>Here’s my problem with IU in general getting all this money to promote diversity, based on my current situation:</p>
<p>I work my ass off, have a 3.9 GPA and my parents make 75k a year, with 2 sisters in college, but am a white kid who is paying ~21k a year.</p>
<p>My roommate parties and plays videogames all the time, has a 2.1 GPA whose parents make 50k a year, with no other siblings in college, but is black and he is getting paid (that’s right, IU is paying him) $3000 a year to come here.</p>
<p>I am not trying to be a racist (my other roommate is Mexican and getting better grades than me (he has 3.97), but he doesn’t disclose his financial information). Diversity is great, but with all these companies paying IU money for diversity, it is not going to be spent in the schools best interest. I think this money may be a double edged sword.</p>
