Thanks to a new tuition policy at Yale, prospective students will be indebted to the institution--but this time with gratitude. The Bulldogs have joined Harvard in the effort to make higher education more affordable. Under a new plan which takes effect this fall, families with financial needs could qualify for a 50 percent reduction in tuition. Even middle- and upper-class families with incomes of $120,000 to $200,000 may experience a 33 percent decrease in the $45,000 yearly fees. Students from homes that earn less than $60,000 may enroll tuition-free, provided that they meet the academic requirements. Together with Harvard, which also agreed to eliminate student loans, Yale is answering Congress's call for institutions with strong endowments to "do more to ease the financial burden on families." http://www.yaledailynews.com/articles/view/22923
