“I am most impressed that USC commits funds to supporting all students–those in need financially and those who have distinguished themselves regardless of need. Investing in students seems the greatest investment a university can make. To portray this as ‘buying’ students, provides much insight into the motivations of one making such a comment.”

It’s not unusual for schools to compete for the best students by offering financial incentives, and USC’s been pretty open that it’s playing the same game. Call it buying or bribing or whatever - I have no problem with it. It works.
