<p>As a CA taxpayer, this really bothers me too. I understand that there might be ways to accomplish this w/o jeopardizing FA, but those loopholes need to be eliminated. For every tuition dollar paid (or borrowed) by a paying UC student, 1/3 of it goes to pay for FA for others. Some students will be paying back outside loans for years, 1/3 of which is actually paying the tuition for others who do not pay. It is painful to me to think that one student may be burdened by student loan debt for 10 or more years so that another can enjoy his degree in the comfort of his new home, both of which he acquired for little or nothing.</p>
