Long-Term Tuition Policy: What Happens When Tuition Rises Faster than Ability to Pay?

Dunn, John A., Jr.

Trusteeship, v1 n3 p6-10 May-Jun 1993

It forces institutions to divert some new revenue into financial aid, narrows the applicant pool, and undermines the social contract supporting need-based aid. (MSE)
