[quote=Anonymous]This whole thread demonstrates how corrupting financial aid can be. It simply invites gaming by those who don't really need the assistance and a complex system is devised to limit the gaming. Beating the more complex system is a challenge that stimulates only the well off bargain hunters; others just give up at the increased complexity. An FA program raises the sticker price to a level only the very rich or very self-sacrificing can afford, and then the excess they are paying is doled out to whomever tells the best story. Why not just price tuition to what everyone is actually paying divided by the number of students? Much fairer IMO. We are beyond the point in DC where FA is needed for the sake of diversity.[/quote]
