I think the issue is that college administrators have introduced this policy, which amounts to a wealth transfer from some middle class families to other middle class families, without any input from elected officials and without any public debate. Nope. There has always been aid for students who could not afford college. One of the signal achievements of American higher education. That aid comes from a variety of sources--federal government, state governments, and the general operating expenses. State legislators who have cut funding for higher education now think they should be able to determine university policy. And, no doubt, in red states the vehicle for such policy directives will come through appointments to boards of directors, trustees, or whatever they are called. Letting such boards determine policy at these levels is a formula for such boards getting further into the management of the university and thus a formula for weakening some of our very strong state universities, of which North Carolina has at least one.
