#1 This war is far from over. We have to put all the College and University systems in mortal fear of pulling this foolishness. Removal of funding and being fired or demoted have to be the club that is used.

#2 CU Boulder in all it's glory with Ward Churchill and the sports program, raised their in state tuition 28%. Go figure.
Veterans who have served our country shouldn't be held to the same in state rules that the rest are. Instead of living in state, they've been fighting for us, I feel they should be charged in state where ever they decide to live after getting out. This guy served two 7 month tours in Iraq and the college was giving him grief, come on now. We need to honor our veterans alot more than we have been lately. Also not put up so many road blocks for them to work through.

#4 As the men and women come home there will be more old state policies that will come to light need to be changed. Texas will change their state rules, Texans love their soldiers and will fix this. The real fight will be in states like Ca. and Mass that still think we're second class citizens behind the fench jumping pickers.

#5 Sounds to me like this was just some minor clerk in a large bureaucracy slavishly following the 'rules'. Glad it got straightend out. Hopefully, next time, the clerks will be less unhelpful, to use the Rumsfeldian phrase.
