MSU Denver had good intentions...but bad execution with its new grant program.
“Our program pays tuition and mandatory fees for eligible students whose costs are not covered by other federal or state grants, which is a common and accepted practice in higher education,” MSU says. “Students who already receive financial aid covering all of their tuition and fees receive no additional funding, allowing us to ensure long-term sustainability and to expand eligibility to Coloradans with ties to Native nations all over the country, not just those historically based in the state.
Winans says she felt attacked, especially after the school admitted it had rushed the process of establishing the program. No solutions came out of the meeting, she adds. “That doesn't seem like you're remotely aware of how wrong it was for you to come into our ceremony unannounced, with…news cameras, and tokenize us with this empty promise,” Winans explains.
