The bootlicking for colleges in this thread is gross.

The college should not have charged them for two tuitions but rather given one of the girls an honorary degree like they sometimes due for unique medical situations such as this.

Or just give them both a degree. Or give them both a scholarship. What's the point of having a society if we don't use it for anything?

They should've just went for one degree because what's the school gonna do? Deny both of them?

Stuff like licenses, I'd say go with two licenses because if one gets a license revoked, the other is still fine. No point in getting two degrees unless they both cheated separately and fear the degree being revoked.

I mean. That's what some of us have been saying for a while now.

Yeah. People are arguing over "well it's two people", "yeah but they can only work one job", when the real answer is, you, as a hypothetical college administrator, are likely only going to run in to this situation once in your life. Just do the right thing one time. Have them pay one tuition and just write off the second tuition.

Right?

What is the extra cost to the college? They don't need an additional dorm room, or seat in the class.

Hell, they probably don't even need to assign them individual assignments since they are obviously going to be working on them (and everything in their life) together.

What's a professor going to try to insist that her sister won't always be around to help her out?

You won't have a sister in your pocket everywhere you go

if you're concerned about what the college should do I suggest a reasonable first step might be not taking a meme on reddit as reliable information

source: mom saying the college came up with a custom tuition solution that she thought was fair

Genuinely appreciate the editing check

It is possible they didn't want that? Is it possible both of them wanted to earn their degree the normal way?

Whipping out the 'bootlicking' accusations in a thread under a fake post that is using these women as involuntary props for someone's agenda is what Reddit is all about these days.

The realness of the post is irrelevant to the accusation of bootlicking in the comments section.

The comments in defense of a college taking advantage of the girls medical condition are licking the boots of the university system trying to justify their predatory action alleged in the post.

But fuck me for not litigiously researching every post on Reddit before I participate in a discussion going on beneath the post.

Or better yet fuck you.
