Student Protests By Paying Tuition In $1 Bills

Luq Mughal had 2000 $1 bills ready to pay his tuition.

Mughal said he spends his weekends working to pay for college — after a week of 12-hour days studying electrical engineering. Even though the 21-year-old gets a discount because his father is a member of the faculty, the cost of tuition plus fees, books and living expenses is crushing.

“By no means am I the saddest story on campus. There’s a lot of people here just as bad and probably worse,” he said. “The people making the prices are not actually aware of how hard it is on the students.”

He’s hoping to send a message with the cash, which he collected from several banks, and that more students join him next year.
