[quote=Anonymous] I think the fact that top 25 universities and SLACs are no longer affordable for the middle class has contributed to the resentment of coastal elites and the rise of Trumpism. The FAFSA is structured in such a way that elite colleges are now comprised of either full pay (the top 2% of US households) or substantial need. No one is going to those colleges who is representative of what is left of the American middle class. This is not a new problem---it was around when I applied to college in the 1980s as well---though it has gotten a lot worse given that college costs have skyrocketed well past average consumer price increases over the last 3 decades.
