[quote=Anonymous]I realize that no one has much sympathy for people with HHI over $450K but no states impose a sliding tuition scale on their residents for in-state tuition---which is what this type of means testing is. I've never understood why Congress can't just require the states (ALL of the states, not just DC and MD) to let DC residents pay in-state rates. We have no voting representation, yet we pay federal taxes. The DC tax base is too small (given the large number of government/non-profit and diplomatic buildings which are exempt from RE taxes) to generate revenue enough to sustain a decent public university.
