With all the hoopla going on about the UNLV, UNR and other upper education budgets, I was tipped off that some people just aren't paying tuition. The people who get the free tuition are the people aged 62 and older.
This program allows seniors to take academic classes tuition free*, on a space available basis, during the fall and spring terms. Students can either take classes for credit and have the credits applied toward a degree, or can simply audit the classes for the enjoyment of observing and/or participating in the University classroom experience. *Other fees and charges still apply http://seniorprograms.unlv.edu/academic_62plus.html
All seniors in the State of Nevada can get free tuition, which is subsidized by the current students and by taxpayers. It is not based on need but on age. It also applies to all public colleges and universities in the State.
Hmm, maybe if the seniors can make a token payment based on need, ya think that maybe it will help pay the salaries of people like Dina Titus and the other professors who milk the system the higher education system?
Maybe, just maybe.
