<p>NYTimes...In Search of Financial Aid</p>
<p>The irony to me is that private schools (of a certain level) provide support to families like this, while the public system doesn't.
The other irony is that wealthy families are subsidized by the UVAs and Berkeleys of the world. I don't understand why state university systems aren't viewed as entitlements for the upper middle class and and above, which of course they are.</p>
<p>Because the upper middle class and above pay for those state universities through their tax dollars.</p>
<p>Low income folks support the state u’s too. The UC’s
are fast becoming a good example of state funded ed
for wealthier students.</p>
<p>Another class warfare thread. Maybe there should be a forum for those that want to argue about the topic and the regular area for actually providing help to those that ask for it.</p>
<p>bceagle It’s an open forum, if you don’t want to post -don’t!</p>

<p>Wealthy people pay a higher percentage of the cost of going to these schools than poor people.</p>
<p>All taxpayers support and receive the tuition discount for their public schools - whether they have kids or not. Many wealthy people choose not to send their kids to college there. What does it matter?!</p>
