BC is a Jesuit university and this is an example of the university reflecting the beliefs of the administration. Hats off to BC!
$700k is a huge saving! 🤯
Another gigantic policy failure rebranded as feel good news. FTFY “normal family is allowed to have an education without a lifetime of crippling debt”.
In Sweden it’s free for everyone, nice post but still foolish
And yet, many places around this beautiful earth, educating your population is just…free. Here, though. Nah. Debt to your eyeballs, for you! And you! Debt for everyone, lmao.
Ah, the orphan crushing machine, yes.
And what is great about this? Higher education shouldn’t be just for rich people able to afford 6 figure tuitions
All full-time Penn State employees receive a 75% tuition discount. It makes the school affordable for a lot of staff families who could not otherwise attend.
Only in the USA…
Stupid country that college is so expensive
700k for five kids insane
How is this “hard work paying off”?
This is just a perk of his employment.
hero!
That’s super awesome
Something similar to this is how my parents paid for college. My dad worked for the school as a carpenter/handyman which meant him and my mom had 90%reduced tuition and free housing.

Orphan killing machine
Sad that this is meant to be a ‘feel good’ story. This is how it should be for everyone.
On the other side this college could have made $700k if it rejected all 5 kids
Imagine having to pay for an education, what in the backwards hell is this
This is the BEST!
Yep it’s a common to cover tuition for employees children in the Catholic college system. They can’t pay the same wages, so tuition is a big bonus (must pay taxes on this benefit tho) Usually means student can attend same affiliated religious order colleges in the US.
Co-worker got 6 undergraduate degrees and 3 MBA degrees between her/husband & 4 kids.
I respect this guy. He might not have always been a janitor. He saw an opportunity to better his children. At a sacrifice and took it.
That’s a life hack for you.
Lots of universities do this.
So wonderful! Go BC!
