any minority that graduates high school with a gpa over a certain level, let's say 3.2, should be promised a spot in state university, with tuition, books, room and boards paid for by the state.

agree?

Any person who can meet the entrance requirements for a state university should get tuition paid for for 4 years at that school so long as they stay off academic probation; I'd go for that. Given the ridiculously escalating cost of college and the massive amounts of debt that most graduates have upon graduation, I think this would more than pay for itself in making college a much more attractive option and in reducing this debt for students upon graduation. Education has so many benefits for society at so many levels.

But not just for minorities certainly, and not for books or room and board, either.
