[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing I took away from the article, was that this isn't just about population decline, it's another income disparity issue. Colleges don't just need high school graduates, they need high school grads in the 1%. As income disparity has increased, there are fewer and fewer full pay students to fight over. The top schools will always receive plenty of qualified full pay applicants, and they are expert at ensuring their balance of need/full freight covers costs.[/quote] Or rather while in the past maybe the top 20% could comfortably afford college, now it's only the top 1%, and this has more to do with the hollowing out of the middle class, than the rise in tuition.[/quote]
