It's not just Yale though, a lot of other schools are stingy.</p>

<p>Yup, here's the Yale Daily News version of the protest/sit-in: <a href="http://yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=28583%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://yaledailynews.com/article.asp?AID=28583&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>"We need to get reform that looks more like [Princeton's] or Harvard's, because it's affecting our admissions," said Julie Gonzales '05 of the Yale Undergraduate Organization Committee (UOC), a group pushing for financial aid reform.</p>

<p>"Speaking from inside the admissions office, UOC member Josh Eidelson '06 said that the groups' major demands were "an elimination of the family contribution for low-income families — much like the change that Harvard made last year — and a cut in half of the required annual student contribution."</p>

<p>Harvard decided last year to provide full aid to students with a family income under $40,000, and Princeton revised its policy four years ago to replace student loans with grants.</p>

<p>The UOC canvassed Yale's campus with fliers comparing financial aid statistics for Yale with those of Harvard and Princeton. The fliers said that Yale students spend more hours working per week and graduate with larger debt — and the school has subsequently received fewer applications for the Class of 2009.</p>

<p>Harvard and Princeton saw increases in applications by more than 15 percent last year, while Yale saw a slight decline."</p>
