To my knowledge it's tuition has always been uniform on the charges. The aid packages would change according to need--from the various sources.

This is incorrect, factually. Not certain who would have given you this information. Need based aid has been a part of higher ed admissions decision as long as I've been involved in such. That's almost forty years now. And when I was brought into those discussions, it was clear this was an ongoing practice; nothing new.

The money for such came from several sources some of which was general operating budgets monies, which is largely tuition money.

What's new is these attempts to claim that some portion of the tuition bill amounts to middle class parents subsidizing the poor.
