Brown Ends Tuition for Lower-Income Students
When I saw that headline on the NY Times website, I thought to myself..."Wow, they're ending tuition for low-income students? That seems to be going against the tide." I misinterpreted this ambiguous headline to mean that Brown was cutting back on its financial aid. While instead it means that Brown is ending the requirement that low-income students pay tuition (or I should say students from low-income families, because I would warrant a guess that most college students are low-income).
