‘yoke’ as in both 'you meant it was a “joke” ’ and ‘yoke’ as in “Columbia’s meager financial aid makes a much greater burden”. Double entendre, you see.

As I see it, Columbia can and will manage to offer less financial aid to middle class ppl because so many students from middle class families are breaking down the doors to go to school in the big city. Apparently being in the middle class these days is the same as being a millionaire. They fail to understand that the poverty line is an emergency threshold, and that people who are somewhat above it may still need a good amount of assistance, especially those who live in larger families and with other kids going to college.
