[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] This isn’t the cause. Income disparity has increased by some measures (concentration of wealth at the top vs. bottom), but the middle class is shrinking because there are more people moving into the upper income levels. There are going to be fewer rich students because there are going to be fewer students, period. [/quote]
