Two students have accused the Georgetown University Student Association (GUSA) of improper conduct relating to last week’s vote for a tuition increase in order to provide reparations for the descendants of slaves sold by the university in 1838.
Students voted by a 2-to-1 margin last Thursday in favor of increasing tuition by $27.20 per semester to create a fund that would go to the descendants. Not all students agreed with the referendum, with some questioning how the fund would be spent or why it was their responsibility to pay for the school’s past sins.
