There are probably two reasons. First, they may think it doesn't extend to their level of income and they also have need given cost of living, etc. Second, some realize that this aid is redistributed from the tuition paid by middle class families and up, so it may be raising their costs.

If you're in Virginia, that's highly unlikely. IS tuition probably doesn't cover the cost to educate the student. The out of state students pay double.

OOS full pays definitely subsidize, but I wouldn't rule it out that in-state full pays at UVA and W&M in particular subsidize lower income students.

That’s not how it works. You can easily read about this if you so some searching. The financial reports are public.

Well, look at it this way, if lower income students and families paid more, middle income could pay less to raise the same amount of tuition revenue. UVA already has a significantly higher price for higher income families in state and less for lower income. At Virginia Tech, for instance, that is much less pronounced.

So basically they are angry that poor families aren't subsidizing middle class families? That is messed up!
