HB1393 creates the Displaced Aurarian scholarship for the descendants of Aurarians, a neighborhood in Denver, displaced by the development of the Auraria Higher Education Center between 1955 and 1973.
The Colorado State House of Representatives passed HB1393 on April 29, 2022 by a vote of 51 to 11. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this is a form of reparation, which is a slippery slope to go down. Taxpayer dollars should not go to pay for a person’s college education.
