Black students at Western Kentucky University could potentially
receive free tuition if a resolution passed by the student government is
successful.
The resolution, which passed on April 18 by a
19-10-1 vote, is being considered reparations for a "debt that will
never be paid," according to reports.
Andrea Ambam, one of the co-sponsors of the
bill, said their main goal was to spark what she believes are necessary
conversations about race at WKU.
"The resolution passing in our student
government makes a huge statement to the policy makers at WKU," she told
NBCBLK. "The next step is to push our way into more formal settings on
campus and create discussion, as well as writing more legislation."
