<p>Look, it’s silly to keep quibbling over this, but I’m going to do it anyway. You’re making unfairly selective use of my words. I also said, “I also believe that the parents are entitled to set reasonable terms and conditions on [their] contribution.” To pull the plug over an outfit would not be reasonable. And while it might or might not be unreasonable to pull the plug over the choice of major that a parent finds unsuitable or impractical, threatening to withhold funding unless the student chooses one particular major would, in my opinion, be unreasonable. And, to return to the issue of a freshman taking a car to college, I think that’s not an unreasonable condition. </p>
