Oh, it’s not that simple. Duke has a mission to provide financial aid to ALL of its students - not just cater to the whims of its undergrads. After all, despite all the entitled huff and puff about undergraduates on CC, they’re really only a small part of a much larger university.</p>
<p>What about all of the graduate students in arts & sciences, engineering, nursing, medicine, law, business, environmental science, divinity, and public policy? Do they not deserve funding as well? Duke has nearly 3 1/2 times as many grad/professional students as Brown, and such students are not cheap. </p>
<p>An operating budget only goes so far, and Duke’s pockets are unfortunately not unlimited. Deep, to be sure, but not unlimited.</p>
