No, the WSJ article misses the point of tuition costs. They are like, at one level, operating costs of any publicly funded entity. They go into a pot and then items are divided up to be spent. With the exception of grants and such that are dedicated to certain expenses and certainly aren't tuition. So it's reasonable to say that the tuition fees paid by whomsoever are set asides for heating costs, a/c costs, coaches salaries (some money here from special funds probably), english professor costs, and so on. To call them set asides for student aid is malarkey, no doubt mandated by some very right wing legislative committee. It's simply more of the us against them destructive political culture.
