NO: Higher education is already cost prohibiitve for most students. A voluntary donation fund for schools wishing to participate is fine, but no school should be penalized (a penalty that will be passed on to the students via tuition raised). STRIKE this and make it voluntary. "2. Failure to meet the deadline established by paragraph 1 of 6 this subsection shall result in a punitive fine of one percent (1%) of the institution of higher education’s appropriated budget for each month of noncompliance. Collected fines shall be deposited 9 into the General Revenue Fund."
