Dwight: While the article very nicely explains that Harvard is giving more financial aid to the low end, waiving tuition for families earning less than $65,000, it does not explain why in the middle of a double-dip recession, with a 32 billion dollar endowment, Harvard is cutting aid to the upper middle class – something they so proudly announced they were committed to doing in 2008. The article also does not explain if the cut effects current Harvard families or will it effect only new families. Much has yet to be explained.
