Reagent level. Regents don't rate an A. As we said during the FSM, "would you want your daughter to marry a regent?"

It's not micro managing the universities accounts to demand that tuition policy be uniform, or least that cost shifting not happen without debate on it at the Reagent level. We'll just have to disagree on this point. The larger point, however, is that a uniform tuition policy simply strengthens already hard lines of inequality. One of the dreams about the US is that it hopes to provide equality of opportunity. It doesn't; never has. But there are little corners in which some small smidgings existed. These kinds of aid packages are one such. As Sam puts it later, this is simply class warfare. On your spelling above, as I would guess you know, it's "regent" not "reagent."
