That's pretty cool.

Btw, this is an all-black private liberal arts college. The billionaire is the wealthiest African-American in the U.S.

That is really awesome. He's paying it forward by giving these kids opportunities rather than being weighed down by debt.

First off, this feel good story disguises the fact that 400 students have a combined debt of around 40 million. That is fucking insane and should not be supported.

It's a nice gesture but it's also a slap in the face for those who graduated last year

He's a billionaire. 1 billion is a thousand millions. This is 40 million.

Pretty sure he's saying that it's stupid that the student debt is that high, not that he shouldn't pay it off.

Only because other billionaires didn't do this in previous years. More billionaires need to step up and follow this example.
