#2 Over the weekend, the Dartmouth board voted to reinstate loans of $2,500 to $5,500 per academic year for financial aid recipients from families with incomes above $75,000. Students from families that earn less will continue to receive free tuition and loan-free aid packages.

Diversity marches on. This is just another way of increasing tuition for those "who can afford it."

#3 Sure never had anyone lose sleep over decreasing my student debt. As a white male that had previously made a little money in my life I was on my own. Had to borrow like the State of California to pay for mine. Why should the guy next to me get a free ride for being a member of an ever increasing list of 'minorities'?

#4 Why, bigjim, why? Equality of outcome, that's why. You needed cutting down to size, you damn capitalist.
