...students who have the greatest need of financial relief. Tuition, after all, is fundamentally a market price paid by students who can afford it, while financial aid programs cover, as much as possible, students who cannot afford full tuition—and who still sometimes receive aid that is meager or insufficient, even at schools with the most generous financial aid programs. Allocating extra funds to a tuition freeze instead of financial aid will generally benefit students paying the full tuition price more than those who are in the greatest need of financial assistance.

...played and got a little tentative.” Harvard’s best offensive performance came in game one, as the Crimson posted 17 kills on .500 hitting. NJIT kept the score close and even led for much of the frame despite posting attacking at a meager rate of .086. Still, Harvard managed to escape with a 30-28 victory on kills by Weintraub and Favrot and a game-finishing block by Fitz. “We practiced well, had two good practices—corrected some things we did poorly,” Ridolfi said...

Hard as it is for us to imagine, Africa's households simply can't afford even $10 for a net, or a dollar for medicines when a child falls sick. Nor can African governments carry these costs on meager budgets or take extra vital steps to train local health workers and ensure that every village has reliable access to effective medicines...
...spending by U.S. drug companies on research and development jumped 147%, from $16 billion to nearly $40 billion annually. But the number of applications the pharmaceutical firms submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for potentially groundbreaking new drugs during that 10-year period increased only a meager 7%. And since 1995, the applications for these innovative drugs have been dropping each year. "The productivity of research and development investments has declined," the GAO concluded...
