Stanford drops tuition for some students
In a radical change to its financial aid program, Stanford University will announce today that it will no longer charge tuition to students whose families earn less than $100,000 a year.

In addition, the university will waive room and board fees for students whose families earn less than $60,000 a year.

University President John Hennessy will make the announcement today on campus, university Provost John Etchemendy confirmed late Tuesday.

The university is making the change in the wake of published reports last month that its endowment had grown almost 22 percent last year, to $17.1 billion. That sum had begun to attract attention from lawmakers who want wealthy institutions to do more to reduce tuition costs.

The world just became a slightly better place.

just in case you’re wondering what’s going on…

While it seemed like a great idea at first, I have found I’m not too crazy about the whole multiple site thing. First of all it means maintaining two separate blogs and second of all it renders Vixenk.net pretty useless. So I’ve merged everything back together.
