?? The undocumented issue was 5 1/2 years ago, and she was ultimately treated fairly.
This is terrible and immoral and all but I personally think that a felony is more than a little harsh given the crime. ESPECIALLY considering the leniency that has been shown in recent years to the elite in similar fraudulent situations…
Wall street bankers get felonies and then have those penalties revoked in spite of all the people whose lives they ruined. Many of them received special allowances to stay in the market and still pull huge salaries while someone who tried to get a cheaper education is going to languish in the social purgatory that is having a felony on their record.
He is surely likely to have a high priced attorney in his camp. Unlikely the felony charge will stick around. But it should stands are a warning to others. Liars/cheaters will not be tolerated.
Fraud is fraud. It’s a felony, and it should be a felony. A fraud on a public university is ultimately a fraud on the taxpayers; it shouldn’t be tolerated. As for Wall Street types who commit fraud, they should also be prosecuted, convicted, and convicted as felons, not held up as a reason to go easy on others who commit felonious acts against the taxpaying public.
I can’t say I agree with his methods, but I completely understand him. He was trying to do something as a parent, and what with the price of college I guess he felt as though he had no other option. It’s stupid to charge extra to out of state students anyway, colleges already make so much out of us it just isn’t fair.
I’m sure the citizens of the state of GA who pay taxes to support UGA disagree with you.

Where did you get the idea that colleges “make so much out” of the low tuition that they charge instate students??? Where is the evidence of THAT???
Where did you get the idea that there is ANY profit in the instate rates???
Are there any state schools that don’t have differential rates for in/OOS students? Of course the residents, who pay taxes, should get a break.
There are a couple of puiblic Us in the great white north midwest which don’t have different rates (like Minot State).
The University of Minnesota - Morris, a pretty good public LAC, charges in-state and OOS students the same rate, with total tuition, fees, room & board coming to $20,650. There are also some schools where the differential between in-state and OOS rates is relatively small. At South Dakota State, OOS students pay $2,850 per year more than in-state, and the OOS COA of $18,404 is less than in-state COA for residents of many states at their own state’s public universities.
