Students at Georgetown University voted on Thursday in favor of a referendum approving a tuition fee, which would pay reparations to descendants of the enslaved people from the university's past.
“You had students with an idealistic vision and what I’m sure is good intentions,” Estes told Newsweek. “But, good intentions can’t right policy. So, the problem that we have here is that right now, good intentions are writing policy. We have, ‘here’s the idea,’ but what do we do once the money is brought forward? I don’t think people have thought though that as much.”
“In 2014, I actually walked on Georgetown’s campus when I was in D.C., once and I got a vibe and at the time I didn’t know my history at all,” Thomas explained. “So, for everything to come full circle from that moment was really interesting.” Another issue Estes took with the referendum was that it forced students to participate. While he agreed it could be a good idea that could do good things, he disagreed that students should be forced to do it. Aside from it being thrust onto students, regardless of their financial means, in Estes’ opinion, financial justice isn’t the proper avenue.
"We all agree something wrong has happened," Short-Colmb said."So, if this is not the plan and you oppose the plan, what's yours?" Moretta is a descendant of enslaved people and said her current and future identity as a Georgetown student—and later an alumnus—is owed to the people who involuntarily sacrificed to establish the university.

That will surely be satisfactory and Georgetown can rest assured there will be no more demands or references to systemic racism at the university.
I remember all of the talk about reparations in 2008....that disappeared shortly after the elections....
