To keep his school running, he contributes about $100,000 a year toward the difference between tuition and costs. The six-acre filled ravine where the school stands and the dazzling buildings cost him a million dollars, and Midtown's impressive array of planned improvements may cost a half-million more...

Apparently, ever the entire preceding decade that Administration had developed no sense that it was obligated to contribute a portion of tuition to supporting those less able to pay.
