That new Harvard policy does not address the middle class squeeze, but probably hurts it. I bet some of the extra money going to the low income families is being taken away from the middle to upper middle class.



I suppose it depends on one’s perspective. Some would consider 60k “middle class”, many more would consider 60-80k to fit in that category. The point is that the 45k-60k families, and 60-80k families, too, have been getting hit very hard, indeed. What happens now in the 80-100k range wasn’t stated, but there should be some easing there, too.
