...this month, he came face to face with two striking facts: a budget deficit that could reach $400 million in the next fiscal year, and an expensive complex of colleges and universities that consumes about $400 million a year and yet does not charge students a single penny of tuition.* Putting two and two together, Reagan last week proposed to take a healthy whack at the funds doled out to higher education and to break a century-old tradition by charging students at the nine-campus university a tuition of $400 per year...
