Description: A radical proposal arguing that schools such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which have many ties to wealthy corporations, should not charge their students tuition.
an exploration of some ideas by At Left: Three MIT undergrads and the wardrobe they were able to purchase after paying their term bill. What would the Massachusetts Institute of Technology look like if we did not charge undergraduates tuition? First, let's consider how we look now. We set a very high price, sometimes after discussion with or following the lead of our competitors. We ask students to give us enough financial information so that we can figure out how much they can afford. Then we take all the money that we think they have. We are a not-for-profit tax-exempt institution. We would not do this in order to enrich ourselves. We do this because we want to help children from poor families get an education. So we don't look greedy. Or do we?
