DRAFT: Affordable University For Lower Class

[Yvani]

Category: Education & Creativity
Area of Effect: Educational
Proposed by: Yvani

The General Assembly,

Defines University: an institutional academy intended for instruction and examination of students in many branches of advanced education, awarding degrees in various departments,
Defines lower class/low-class: an economic status of earning at or less than their nation's average income.
-----
UNDERSTANDS that lowering university costs can be a costly investment to a nation's economy,
SEES where foreigners might wish to take advantage of this opportunity of education from lower class citizens,
HOWEVER says that investment to better education for unfortunate families is morally good and beneficial, with checks and balances to monitor foreigners that enter these universities,
STATING that common knowledge rising in quality would allow nations' economies to improve,
WISHES for nations to realize the importance of a more educated mankind to better global standards of living.
-----
1. DEMANDS lowered university costs for it to be affordable to low-class citizens,
2. REQUIRES systems to keep legal foreigners from abusing the privilege, but allowing them to enter the opportunity through more detailed and secured paperwork for national safety and citizen entitlement.

OOC: You have to add more clauses, the "," in the last clause implies there is more to come.

For starters, I would highly recommend looking at GAR #80, clause 4 and GAR #159.

I also highly recommend posting before submitting the resolution. That way, you can go through allowing delegates to give you constructive criticism.

"The title doesn't feel right as a great deal of nations have no such thing as a class system and the term itself is often believed to be pejorative. I would suggest altering it."

OOC: ^That, and also I wonder how costs can be lowered when university-level education is free? And clause 2 makes no sense at all.

OOC: Is its treatment of foreigners compatible with GA Resolution #35?

OOC: According to at least one GenSec member, citizenship can be used as a practical, compelling reason. Otherwise you couldn't block non-citizens from voting, for example. Also, clause 2 makes no sense the way it's been written. At least I can't figure out what exactly "enter the opportunity through more detailed and secured paperwork for national safety and citizen entitlement" means. What detailed and secured paperwork? What national safety?
