Sure, but that’s money that the students would be entitled to apply for, and it goes to their tuition. Now, God knows, I think these students should be taking their Pell grants and going somewhere less ridiculous—or, perhaps Liberty shouldn’t be accredited—but the money is going to the students for their tuition.

We had this argument a lot when Mill College was in the news. An all-women’s college that takes federal funding! FEMINAZIS ON THE DOLE!!!

Friend of mine used to work the phones at Mills. She got a call one day from some guy with a pronounced Texas drawl. He demanded to know if Mills College—‘which is an all-women’s college’—got federal funding.

L. politely explained that the school itself does not receive federal funds, but students do.

Guy said, “Dang it. You just cost me a steak dinner, little lady,” and got off the phone.

True story.
