Class of 2014 Warning!...if you are typical 2-income family, cost will be $51K/yr

<p>

</p>

<p>Do donors specify a threshold of income for which they are willing to earmark their donations? Who decides what a “needy” student is? According to H, for example, children of $180K earners are “needy” and receive FA. </p>

<p>What if colleges grew some kahones (sp?) and acknowledged that the price tag of $50K+ is so outrageous and the economy is so bad that no one should be expected to pay that price, and is therefore “needy?” Would it be okay to use endowment money for everyone then?</p>
