...University said this week that families who earn between $120,000 and $180,000—“middle-income” families—will only have to pay 10 percent of their income as tuition starting next year. Loan expectations for all students will be eliminated as well...
...loans, it will provide aid for some families earning between $120,000 and 180,00, gave me new rise.

...Iraq, the economy, abortion—these are the issues that drive people to vote. What issues do we feel that way about here? The UC is supposed to represent our interests. What if a candidate ran on pushing the administration for entirely free tuition? Pressuring the College to recognize and support the ROTC program? Representing students in the execution of the new General Education requirements? Speeding up the calendar reform implementation process? Guaranteeing more funding for student groups (not for alcohol, but for the Phillips Brook House to subsidize more undergraduate charity work, or for CityStep to get more...
