Or you could make market-based choices, and send your kids to a different college. You do not live under Communism, much as you might think you do.
Heh -- the writer of the Times column said this:
If you found the policies of this college morally offensive, you could have encouraged your daughter to attend another, maybe one with the inspiring Latin motto: Nullus admittendus pauper.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Happy Matilda Celebration!
We wish we could be there. Stupid distance between Seattle and SF!

I agree with Matilda- shocking, indeed. Happy birthday!
How can I convince my co-worker that the state of Massachusetts is not going to barge in to every citizen's home and force them to have a flu shot?
Tell her we don't like Florida enough to make them do that- those shots are ours, bitches! I think Florida scares Massachusetts as much as Massachusetts scares Florida.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
My daughter attended a small liberal-arts college in the U.S. that spends 25 percent of tuition funds on grants, scholarships, etc., none of which she received, although some were available to her. My wife and I strongly believe that this is forced charity, a redistribution of funds and hence unethical. We give to charity and support our alma maters, but that is voluntary. Shouldn’t the school simply cut its tuition by 25 percent?
Do people not know that almost all colleges charge an artificially high rate so they can do this? Where do people think free rides come from?

I never thought about it. I always thought scholarships came from donated money, not tuition money.
